### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works well in backpack system.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022*

Work well with backpack configuration. Increased reception by several miles. A shorter antenna would work just as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Longer range antenna
  

*by D***9 on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022*

This antenna looks like it is all business.  Reminds me of my days in the military with the PRC-77 radio on my back.  Yeah, that was a long time back.  I tried this antenna along with the regular antenna that came with the radio and found that this antenna had longer range  I was able to activate a repeater that was over 45 miles away on 8 watts. The shorter antenna would not break squelch on that repeater. Very sturdy construction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice antenna! But..... had to mod to use on my Baofeng.
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021*

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is only because I had to trim about 4mm of the plastic off the bottom of the antenna around the sma connector. It wouldn't even thread down low enough to engage the center conductor. Afterwards....I have to admit it's quite large in comparison to my little Baofeng. However, it allowed me to hit 5 repeaters I could only hit with my 25 watt mobile radio. I was also pleased with the results of my test on it with my VNA. LOW SWR all across the usable bands (even FRS and GMRS). Quite pleased but I think I'll order the 18" version now.
