Review on 📡 ABBREE Tactical Antenna - 42.5-inch Tri-Band 144/222/435Mhz for Baofeng & Radioddity Two Way Radios by Greg Birchfield

For context: My order was FBA and was sold to ABBREE. I received the antenna in good condition and tried it with the cable (function tested and low impedance) with my Baofeng radios. In trying to use this antenna at the base as the best range and quality scanner and without having to change antennas for the 1.25 meter band, I found that this was not enough. I could barely get a 200 watt FM station (non-commercial music) 1 mile from my house without a lot of tweaking, and the NOAA weather station was all but gone. My stock ABBREE Baofeng antennas performed better in almost every way. I didn't even bother to do other tests. I didn't believe the other reviewers when they posted photos of the tape measure used in these antennas, but I believe the rumors are true. Of course I couldn't verify this visually as I will be returning this item for a full refund. I was very disappointed with the color in ABBREE because of this useless work.
