As the title says this is a great deal band antenna. Put on on my Jeep and now on the xyl's Jetta. Both antennas arrived and need to adjustment to have a 1:1 SWR at 146.62 and works well in the 2m repeater and simplex ranges that are my primary use. UHF is also solid. Antenna is tough and has taken a pretty good beating on the front fender of the Jeep.

The only problem is the lower rod is too small in diameter. The whole antenna wanders around as I drive. I have some bigger rod. I may drill out the base and center load to accept the larger rod. What a way to save on material! Add $3 to the price and have the Chinese use bigger stock. The gain on UHF is less than a 1/4 wave spike because the antenna won't stand straight up driving 70 mph. I will give you a + on feedback, but won't encourage anyone else to buy one. I will probably give it to a fellow ham. Been doing mobile antennas since 1949. FS

this is an excellent dual band mobile antenna. super easy to install and to fine tune. the bottom section whip is for uhf, the top tunes the vhf side. in all actuality, you can just go ahead and install as it comes as it is pre-tuned and ready to go. but i put an swr meter in line and did fine tune just a little and have been extremely happy with this antenna. i have one on the car and one on a base station adapter kit up in the air for another dual band radio i'm using here at the house. matched up fine and works great. the antenna has 3db gain on vhf and 6db gain on uhf. very good and quality antenna at a very reasonable price. you can't go wrong with this one. you'll be happy with it whether on a car or up in the air on a base mount for the home radio unit. either way, you have a win win situation.Read full review

I was very pleased with the installation of this antenna and with the SWR readings right out of the box! My only complaint would be that I had to modify the bracket in order to fit the mount to it. Overall the installation was easy and the results are very good so far.

You get what you pay for . This is an excellent antenna . Have never used it for 440 only 144 but have never been disappointed with the results . It will only work as well as your radio , but if you use it with a Kenwood , Icom or Yeasu you will like it's performance . This is my second antenna for another vehicle , so now I own 2 of them . If anything should happen to either of them I would surely buy another .
