I like this antenna

I like this antenna, I use my HT on the MURS and GMRS bands, on these frequencies it outperforms the standard antenna ten to one. BIG antenna!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poorly designed

MUCH BETTER THAN A STANDARD ANTENNA!

Longer range than stock antenna yet still portable. Not as good as longer antennas, but they don't get in the way outdoors. Good product for the price!

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • 0

No better, if not slightly worse than the factory NT antenna.

I got it to replace the antenna on my UV-82. After some tests, I found that the reception was significantly worse than when using the factory antenna. I checked the SWR meter, VHF was a little over 1:2 and UHF was a little over 1:3. The factory antenna worked approximately f/1.8 on VHF and f/2.3 on UHF but slightly shorter in length. 82, wasted my money.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • some disadvantages

Perfect fit for my Baofeng UV-9, just bought a second one. Also goes well with my BF-A58 unit

I was looking for an 8 inch antenna to match this type of radio. Most other NA-701's were too big for the base, this one fits perfectly, a little tight, but it fits without modifications. It replaced the stock V-85 antenna, which wasn't as flexible as this or other NA-701s. As for the SWR measurements, judging by the manufacturer. I can however meet all the repeaters that the V-85 did, good input as I've been told that the reception of various signals, both UHF and VHF, was the same or better…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Security

Very good. Many Thanks. fits accessory

I have an Ailunce HD1 which I think suffered from an awkward accidental relationship with its factory antenna. It was bad enough I thought the radio was just junk. For jokes and laughs, I had a Motorola UHF XPR6550 antenna with the same threads as the HD1, installed it and noticed an immediate improvement in UHF performance. So I threw away the factory antenna and since Motorola's antenna was only UHF I bought an 8" TNP antenna and installed it. to analog, and then to a DFW GMRS repeater about…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I won't say anything
