## Questions & Answers

**Q: Another question. Will it add a signigicant amout of range to the radio? If so ball oark figure?**
A: It lowered the range on my test radios. Analysis on a commercial VNA showed terrible performance.

**Q: Can you use it (for rx & tx) "folded" or it could damage the antenna or transceiver in any way? thanks**
A: Rx is fine in any position. Tx should always be fully extended. On any antenna .
Whats the point in buying anything other than a quarter wave just to fold it back in on itself? You gotta think - frequencies are literal lengths - if you can start at full wave it’ll be better all around.

**Q: Does this work with the radioddity gm30?**
A: It may fit - but my experience is that the antenna was performing substantially worse than the stock antenna. I confirmed this with testing in my lab using commercial test equipment. I sent mine back.

**Q: Will it work with a samcom?**
A: If you have an sma Female and on your radio it should fit not 100% sure

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good antenna but large for the overall size of the radio

Redacting last review. Decent antenna. But the added hub at the bottom makes it a little unwieldy due to overall size but works well.
