Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It performs as advertised. It seams to work well. It is suitable for many applications where the hardened much more expensive commercial antennas costing hundreds of dollars are not required.

Disassembly for tuning was not difficult. The mounting hardware is well organized but it would be nice to have a parts checklist on the reverse side of the tuning chart.



Cons

I get bleedover from a sherriff ch on 3-5 upper gmrs channels. Can hear 2 transmissions wile it's bleeding over.

Quality


This antenna is well built and should last for many years


One piece fiberglass antenna easy to install and works well for our use


Element is heavy brass and copper 1012 gage


The antenna has been up for almost 6 months and has endured heavy wind and rain about 35 feet off of the ground

Price


This antenna is an incredible value for many if not most applications and worth the effort to tune it correctly


Unless your application requires your antenna be very remote or otherwise inconvenient to get to this antenna is a great value


Overall for the cash it was well worth the money


You wont be disappointed for the price

Packaging/appearance


The packaging could of been better the box was all beat up and looks like it was re taped in a few spots


There were no instructions included in the package or box so tuning the antenna will be rather challenging

Competitiveness


Got this to match up with my midland mxt500 setup as a base


The lower 462 mhz of the gmrs gives me a 1
