Pros & Cons

Pros

It does a great job for me working repeaters, outperforming most other antennas i have at a decent price point. Powder coated black with a spring at the base to allow the antenna to flex if it is hit and with a loading coil partway up. Quality looks g...  Read More

This antenna radiates the strongest radio signal possible at the horizon. The stealth antenna is a great little antenna, but you can't fight physics. Thats where this 5/8 wave antenna shines. Antenna can be trimmed to achieve desired swr.

This antenna works very well in a fender/hood edge configuration. If you bought the midland mxt500 that came with the small dinky antenna, buy this antenna and swap them out. The nmo connector on the bottom, it makes for a quick change of antennas whe...  Read More

Price

59 amazon price at time of both purchase and review this item is just over 11 cheaper than the midland mxta26

Shipping

Packaging/appearance


Simple packaging ships fast and overall very happy with purchase


34 to be honest the really cheap packaging the item came in was part of my decision to go with this rating

Competitiveness


Seems to be an identical copy of the midland unit which is widely regarded as one of the best in its price range


We have another vehicle and an antenna very similar to this one and we use both of the gain antennas when operating vehicle to ...  Read More


Whether you are transmitting or receiving this 6db antenna will do the same for you as the branded version

    This antenna is so much like the actual midland mxt26 that its hard to tell them apart


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think if it costs considerably less than the midland just get it

    If you can get the midland on sale for close to the same price go for the midland


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Of course this is just the antenna not the mount


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You will need an nmo magmount or a bolt on nmo mount
