Ideal 5/8 antenna
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|

I have used one of these off and on till recently when I donated it to a new ham for mobile use. Yes it is commercial grade and should last for a very long time. Also it appears that coax replacement is easy and accessable if you ever need to, due to damage. (I use a dual-band antenna now just due to need.) Could not tune to perfect flat SWR at midband but close enough. But alot of 5/8 mobiles I have had over the decades were not perfectly flat SWR. Most spec. to 1.5:1 or better, anyway. If you get a deal on this antenna don't pass it up for an inferior quality one. Good strong magnet base too. Performs as it should.

Durable Works Great

Time owned: 6 to 12 months

This is one durable antenna. Designed for rugged commercial/public safety use, it is easily tuned for the 2 meter Amateur band. I have two of these and really like them. The base is much slimmer than comparable Antennex, Larsen, or Maxrad models. The whip is spring steel and the base is flexible rubber. No exposed metal spring base. Performance is as expected with a 5/8 wave antenna.
