Review on The Survival Antenna: Enhance Your Portable Hand Held or Vehicle Ham Radio for Ultimate Survival Use with the Right BNC Adapter by Justin Hines

Arrived very quickly via Fedex Measured SWR and the frequency it's tuned to on the earphone is 146.021 and SWR 1.02 My tests gave almost the same numbers. An RT radio with a high-gain rubber duck and even a Comet SMA high-gain UHF antenna cannot easily reach even nearby repeaters. Today we reach most local repeaters, some as far as 30 miles away! pretty good. This is a quality product, well thought out and made. For some problems, it helps to get or use an SMA adapter that prevents the "twisting" that occurs when trying to install a small SMA connector / PL259 adapter. Cable. Also, the definition of "big tree" in Texas is drastically different from "big tree" in the Pacific Northwest ;) I use good quality bamboo, about 18 feet long, which works great. For everyone looking for a great and easy solution to go live, give this a try, you won't be disappointed.
