Does what it's intended to do.
This antenna does what it’s intended to do. That is: it’s a 19.5 inch, ¼ wave, dual band mag mount mobile antenna that hit’s repeaters on both vhf and uhf within reasonable distances (20-30 miles depending on terrain) extremely well. The magnet is 3 ½” in diameter and is very strong, able to easily withstand high freeway speeds. It’s well built and sturdy, and will stand up to rubbing against some lower lying branches and moderate grazing of an overhead garage door. At the price, it’s a real bargain, and will perform at least as well, and usually better, than anything else in this category. It has a 12 foot pl-259 coax cable, so, depending on the size of your vehicle, you may need a 3 foot extender to place it correctly on the vehicle roof.

Not great, but it fits a temporary need.
This is my third Tram antenna. The first was supposed to be a 10M but would only tune to a very small portion of 11M, But that's OK. It was cheap and I was able to use the housing for a 70CM J-Pole. The other Tram was identical to this and it worked OK, not great, but again, cheap. I gave it away with a cheap disposable Chinese dual band radio I picked up for travel. Well, its time to travel again, so I picked up another QYT radio and this antenna so I won't have to worry about my Kenwood getting stolen from the rental car. Will probably leave it all with a local radio club when we wrap up our trip.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does well for 2m and 70cm
I was worried about not having enough coax, but I had enough+ some to spare. I run a trunk mag mount and wanted to hide the wires to my console in the middle of the front seats. The antenna it’s self does well with both 2 m and 70 cm bands, allowing me to hit repeaters 15-20+ miles out. I’ve also tried it as a base station antenna since i can’t put up an antenna outside due to homeowners association, and I can hit repeaters 20+ miles. I would recommend this to any new ham who is not sure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

100% Satisfied!
This antenna is everything claimed! I did some research on Youtube, and all the reviews that I found gave this one stellar recommendations. Tram can add me to the list of happy customers. So far I have noticed ~10 miles added to my reception range from the (albeit much poorer quality) antenna that this one replaced. Very happy with this purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

WORLD OF DEIIFERENCE!
I used to run one of them cheap quarter sized magnetic type antenna's on my car. Then, the coax ripped out of the base... cheap garbage. I then researched the web, and found great reviews of the Tram 1185... Had to buy one, and see for myself. WOW! It performs like I have a big amplifier! It really surprised the heck out of me. Got about 30 bucks invested in this setup, and worth EVERY dollar I spent. High quality!! 5 stars!!!!! :)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good price, good coverage.
This is an excellent antenna, priced reasonably, that has dual band coverage. It is very easily relocated from vehicle to vehicle due to the very strong magnet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Dual band amateur radio magnetic antenna
Relatively new to ham radio and needed a "mag mount" antenna for my truck. This one was recommended to me and I found it for a good price. Seems to work just fine, and stays in place on my cab roof.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

2-meter Antenna
This is a GREAT! Antenna for the price. I work out in the middle of no where where cell service is no where to be seen. This antenna has gotten me linked up and talking with people when I need it. Built very well, the antenna vertical portion is made very well will not bounce or swing in the wind, magnet portion is very strong, coax is nice and thick. This is not by any means made cheap at all, this thing is made for the long haul. Tram did a great job with this design, it is more of a medium size antenna when fully mounted up right. I have it hooked to a ICOM IC-2000 and running 50 watts this antenna does wonders, SWR is low 1:1 to 1:2 sometimes really never seen it go any higher than that. Great antenna buy one you will love it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Quality antenna
I am planning to use this on a road trip to Indianapolis. The antenna looks like it will work fine. The magnetic base is large and has a strong magnet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value
I use this antenna mostly for testing. I have two of these and they perform well. I've read reviews where people complain the cable is too short. I've never felt that was true in my case. Mounted on a good ground plane. They work as well as any other short dual band antenna I've used. Can't beat then for the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
