It's 5/8 wave on 2 meter which gives you the maximum possible theoretical gain of any single element mobile antenna. On 6 meter, it is a high performance full 1/4 wave antenna. At 53 inches it's rated at 300 watts PEP.

Works well Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased this antenna because I needed one with 3/8-24 thread connection that will do 2 meter and 6 meter. This antenna appears to be well constructed like the hamsticks. The MfJ-1728T performed just as good on 2 meter as my previous 5/8 wave antenna which was a different brand. Local simplex contacts are awesome. Low SWR on both 6and 2 meter. This antenna is plain and simple looking and do not draw a lot of attention. One thing I don't like about this anteena is the super thin, extra flexible whip. Even at low speed the whip is folded back. So I replaced MFJ-1728T whip with a much stronger whip from a HF hamstick and it worked out very well. SWR still low. Now the whip can hold to the wind and driving speed much better than the original whip. Last, I spray painted the antenna black., now its almost invisible on my car.

73's to all
