Authentic Genuine Nagoya UT-72G Super Loading Coil 19-Inch Magnetic Mount (Heavy Duty) GMRS (462MHz) Antenna PL-259, Includes Additional SMA Male & Female Adaptors for GMRS Handheld Radios

This antenna works very well on a GMRS radio with good SWR readings. The cable length is good for an SUV install and seems quite durable at highway speeds. It was easy to use, and it was compatible with the GMRS radio as described in the product description.

This is a straight forward GMRS Mobile Antenna that happens to be a good performer. Take it out of the package, place it in a good spot on your vehicle away from obstructions and it will give you good performance. The antenna is extremely well built and durable, because it’s made from very high quality materials (Stainless Steel). The magnet is very powerful, and the antenna stays in place even at high speeds, and in extreme weather. Its price also makes it an incredibly value. This antenna does not performs on par with my Midland MXTA26, but it is half the price, and unlike the Midland it comes with a very good magnetic mount and good quality RG58u coaxial cable. Right out of the package, my SWR is 1.01 to 1.03 across the GMRS frequency range.

Good antenna with good cable length, strong magnetic, good reception.

Great Performance, Solid Build – Just a Few Minor Issues I’ve been using the Nagoya UV-72 for a little bit now, and overall, I’m pretty happy with its performance. The build quality feels solid, and the antenna does a great job improving my signal reception and transmission range. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in clarity compared to my stock antenna, especially in rural and fringe areas. The magnet mount is strong and holds up well, even at highway speeds. Installation was easy, and the coax cable is good quality. However, the only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that the base could be a bit stronger—it does tend to shift slightly if bumped. Additionally, while reception is great, performance can vary depending on the terrain. Overall, it’s a great antenna for the price and a worthwhile upgrade for anyone looking to boost their radio’s capabilities. I’d definitely recommend it, just keep in mind the minor drawbacks!

I had a similar antenna for my Uniden scanner but hated the magnet, it always got knocked off my truck at the slightest touch. I was going to try it for GMRS but the magnet eventually detached completely and I started looking for a GMRS tuned replacement. The magnet is much better on this one, cable seems well made, and the rubber pad is a nice addition. At first I was skeptical because I wasn't getting a lot of activity on the road like I did with just a rubber duck on a handheld another day from road construction etc, but I guess the air was just dead. I picked up some static filled chatter on a repeater about 40 miles away, attached the handheld to this antenna and got much better reception. I was able to hit the repeater (which I hadn't tried before even when closer due to the static), and got a good signal report back from two other stations. The antenna came a little pre-bent in the packaging but I was able to mostly straighten it out and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Works well with my Radioddity DB20G. SWR was 1.1 -1.3 across all frequencies. Reports have been good under 5 miles. Further testing is needed for working repeaters amd longer distances.

I’m getting close to a 25-35 mile range with my mobile and this magnet mount. Make sure you have a good Nd equal ground plane and keep the base clean. Excellent product.

Ok this is a solid antenna for the price. Definitely improves my rx capabilities. However, my tx is described as very low and behind a wall of static. I can't hit the repeater that I can hit with the 771 whip on the radio. I think it's a wattage issue and not the antenna. But it came with an adapter for handheld and that was the use I was planning on. But it doesn't work for that.

I had a cheap bingfu antenna, and it worked fine but the magnet sucked. This antenna has a nice solid magnet, no fear of it coming off on the highway, and the cable is much thicker and nicer then the cheaper antennas come with. Only recommendation I have is to put a piece of vinyl tape down where ever you are going to mount this as any magnet mount antenna will damage paint eventually.

Second one I have bought. SWR 1.0 Incredible SWR on the first one as well. I don't know how they do it, right out of the package with no tuning required.

Instead of wasting your money and time, do it right, do it once. If you want a magnet mount, this is a great buy. No issues will seller,would buy again.
