Dualband Antenna 2meter 70cm Mobile VHF/UHF Ham Radio (137-149, 437-480 Mhz) Mag Mount Magnet Base PL-259 Connector, 10 Ft RG58 Cable

This is a great antenna if you are looking for a dual band 1/4 wave antenna. A quarter wave antenna is not very long and consequently has very little wind load. I find the magnet to be very strong. (I don't understand the very few reports saying this antenna has a weak magnet base. That is not the case with the antenna I received. The magnet is very strong!) I cannot comprehend how this antenna could ever blow off the car at any speed ! I'm an old experienced ham. I've been licensed for 68 years. I've learned not to believe a lot of antenna hype put out by manufactures when it comes to gain of the antenna. A quarter wave antenna like this one gives the greatest signal for the buck. It is not much different from those longer 5/8 wave antennas which add a lot of wind load to them making them more unstable and prone to blowing off a car if using a magnet mount. Don't believe all those manufacturer gain reports with their longer fancy gain reports. Maybe some have slightly better gain but in the real world you won't find them to work much better then this antenna if any. Torrain and where the antenna is mounted on the vehicle will be more important then the claimed antenna pattern of an 5/8th wave antenna. (The longer antennas also add a lot more clearance problems too.) You are not in the real world going to get much more if any signal distance using a longer antenna as in a 5/8th wave antenna. I've learned over the years to KEEP IT SIMPLE! (Less grief, less wind load, less obstruction, and less cost.) So the final answer is YES I'd buy this antenna again. Great price, practical design, works just fine, built very well, and the cost is low and it is a bargain. Written by w0vt.

Bought this antenna for my Uniden BC355N scanner. It works great for listening to commercial aircraft radio traffic. I live in an apartment complex that prohibits any external antennas. This one is much better than the dipole type antennas I tried.

From a quick test on my car roof with VNA on 2m and 70 cm.Magnet not overly strong but does the job.There is no setscrew for tuning, but the SWR is OK as-is.Was going to use on my trunk - but I magnet tested my trunk lid over the hinge before buying. Unfortunately, the lid itself is aluminum.

Good reception. Am able to get good distance transmitting on UHF. Have bought 2. The coax is the only downfall of this antenna or it would be 5 star, it is fairly stiff and hard to manage in a install.

Magnet very secure. Awesome product!

These antennas worked well with my hotspot in the house. Also on my car. Solid magnet

This antenna works very well, and does get below 1.5 SWR. I'm currently using it with an old Kenwood 2 meter transceiver, and mounted it to a small bracket on the eve of my garage. I didn't need a ground plane or any other enhancements, and it works beautifully. I'm able to hit all of the local repeaters on low-power. Great product, and an excellent value in my opinion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I purchased this antenna last year for my son's mobile radio and was really surprised how well it performed. I finally ordered one for myself and stuck it up on the roof (it has a strong magnet mount). The first QSO I had was through a repeater 24 miles away and the contact asked me where I was and what radio I was using because the signal was so strong and clear. I have used tis repeater many times prior while being closer and never had anyone ask me that. I never heard of this company but their antenna works really well, is easy to install and is very compact. Also easily goes into the garage while attached to the roof of the car.
