I have a couple of these Nagoya antennas.
They all are great.
I am pretty sure they are IDENTICAL and made by the same people as the DIAMOND antennas.

Lets see.. 13 bucks shipped to me from HK, performs great! No problems, made well for the most part. Whip itself is indestructible.

As good as the dearer stuff...

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought this from Hong Kong and found that it improves my signal (Tx/Rx) some two-three S points over the bog standard Yaesu dual band antenna on both VHF and UHF.
I paid about £8 for it (SMA male version) and it works as well as the Moonraker MRW 100 Supergainer, but at under half the cost!

My NA-771 makes is a massive improvement over the stock duck on my HT (3+ "HT" s-units). The whip is not too flexible like some of the the manufacturers' "high-gain" HT antennas. The antenna appears very durable. And, at $15/shipped (from seller wongchuham on eBay) this antenna is a STEAL!

Good HT SMA Antenna
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Ordered mine directly from Ebay and was shipped directly from Hong Kong, $6.95 plus shipping. Good Quality and works good on my FT-250, has SMA connection to match new HT's.
Into a Repeater this 10.5 inch gain antenna is showing over 3 db better on receieve over this distant repeater in the next county. Took 8 days to arrive from Hong Kong and you can track on USPS tracking system.

Value + Quality

Bought it from a dealer in Hong Kong (Ebay)Nice duck, as stated, rather long, but I knew that going in. I use it when I have my VX 170 inside my house. I get about a S-2 to S-3 improvement over the stock antenna. Seems to be quality construction.

I live in an RF blackhole in ALice SPrings... and on my VX7R's antenna could't even tickle the repeater... found these cheap antennas in an Adelaide Ham shop and for 20 bucks picked up one to try... It not only worked brilliantly, it also has just been used on the Yorke Peninsula where I was able to hit all repeaters in Adelaide using the VX7R and the Nagoya NA-771 antenna... clear and clean! Then to push a relationship I tried it on a UHF CB rig and the damn thing worked simplex on 5 watts into north Adelaide which is a distance of 50kms... (I'm beggining to believe this will do HF as well :-) So.... this thing is built well, receives great; gets the signal OUT loud and clear... I really can't fault it and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality HT antenna!!

Seems very good on UHF...
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months

I bought one of these for my UHF Puxing 777 (the SMA-F type). For a flexi antenna it is unusually long (15"), and I was curious to see if it would offer an improvement over the supplied antenna - not that I had a problem with it. Obviously the length is for VHF, but it appears the UHF coil section is a healthy half of its length.
It does seem to receive across the whole UHF band noticeably better. Not massively better, but still a worthwhile improvement for DX. Obviously I can't try it on VHF, but I'm prepared to believe it could be pretty good.
Its size could be bordering on the unwieldy for portable use, but around the home where I use it or on the hilltop, it's fine.
I am tempted to buy the BNC version so I can use it on my scanners to see if it works as well on wideband VHF as it does on UHF. If this is the case then this really would be a very good antenna.

I use this antenna with my VX7. Its rather long, but not to long ;-). You can ad the handhelt to your belt and will not be bothered by the antenna. Its strong enough to hold upright. On 2/70 the antenna is a bit better than the stock, outside the hambands, its remarkably better than the rubbyducky from yaesu. Hardware quality is also ok - so it gets 5by5 :-)
