A piece of coax would work better! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This has to be one of the worst 2 meter antennas I have every had the displeasure to fool around with. I already had an MFJ 6m/2m dual band antenna on the roof and was given this antenna for free (I sure wouldn't want to pay for it!). I compared the two and on average, I saw a decrease of 2 "S-units" between the MFJ and the Ringo, with the MFJ winning!

Please realize, this is the AR-2, not the ARX-2. They are different antennas. See the reviews on the ARX-2 before deciding if you want to pick one of these up.

Nice little antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This little antenna is a gem, easy to setup, inexpensive and rugged. At a mere 15 feet with a radio pushing 50 watts, I was hitting repeaters full scale 60-80 miles away at basically sea level elevations. This antenna sells for $39.95 to $47.95 and is a good bargain.
