Review on πŸ“‘ ABBREE Tactical Antenna - 42.5-inch Tri-Band 144/222/435Mhz for Baofeng & Radioddity Two Way Radios by Andrew Spainhour

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This antenna is great unless you have a UV-S9X3

Bought this antenna for a Baofeng UV-S9X3 tri band radio so I don't have to carry two rubber cleat antennas and change them frequently. The antenna itself works great for the price and has an SWR of <2 at 4-6W (varies by band) on all bands I've tested it with (with a tail you can connect it to the UV-S9X3, but that's obviously impractical for EDC). It won't fit the UV-S9X3 without some sort of adapter, and the idea of using an adapter to attach an already large antenna to a portable device sounds dubious, so I'll look for a better solution for my tri-band -Radio. This antenna mounts seamlessly to a standard UV-5R radio (and its rebranded variants). and has an SWR of 1.5 at 4-6 watts on 2m and 70cm.

Pros
  • AR-152A is an upgraded CS tactical antenna with more bend and better signal.
Cons
  • Low maintainability
