📻 HYS TC-HC152V 2-Meter VHF NMO Amateur Antenna for Ham Radio Band, Frequency Range 136-174MHz Review

The antenna sent to me oscillates at 129MHz, not in the 2m ham band 144-148MHz as advertised. SWR = 5k at 144MHz. It's an airplane antenna, totally useless to me. It's too late to return.

I mounted a small antenna magnet on the roof of my Tacoma. I rode it through bushes and low-hanging trees for years, and it's flexible enough to take any load. Excellent sensitivity at 144,390

Use with magnetic mount. Works perfectly. I use my.scanner with it and can put it in the trunk of my car and route the cable to the front. I can hear both the police bands and the trains, which is what I hear the most.

This antenna fulfills its purpose perfectly. Signals from near and far were loud and clear. Can be a little better, durability can suffer in the long run. For good money.

Although not a mirror image of the manufacturer, the antenna was received boxed and bent. However, it wasn't that hard to straighten it out. The quality of the antenna does not even come close to that of a commercial antenna manufacturer. It also doesn't have a bullet at the tip, making it dangerous and easy to injure your eyes. I ended up using heat shrink tubing with glue inside to create a blunt tip to reduce eye injuries.

Although not a manufacturer's note, the antenna was received stuffed in the box and bent. It wasn't that hard to straighten out, though.
