Diamond Finially Got It Right! 
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Bought this antenna from HRO to replace a Comet SMA-503 and a Diamond SRH-519 for my Yaesu VX-2.
Antenna is about the same length as the 2 other antennas but it is much better constructed and performs much, much better. Am able to bring up repeaters up to 40 miles away with 1.5 watts. I have no concerns about breaking the whip which occurred on both the SMA-503 and SRH-519. Broad banded enough to receive AM and FM broadcast.
My advice to Diamond - Drop the SRH-519 and replace with this model. My advice to hams is buy the SRH701 - it has the same price as the SRH-519 but will last for years.
The SRH701 - Built well and it works!
