ABBREE SMA-Female Ham Radio Antenna VHF/UHF 18.8-inch 144/430MHz High Gain Foldable CS Tactical Antenna for Baofeng UV-5R Mini BF-F8HP Pro 5RM K5PLUS GM21 Quansheng K6 UVK5(8) Radio Accessories

This is a well built antenna and fits the raido good and works pretty good to.

Excellent antenna. I got this for an xhdata e-100 and it works perfectly with the rubber gasket.

Added this antenna to my tactical radio gear with a Baofeng AR-5RM. Greatly improved the transmitting and receive signal, and still compact enough to keep it portable with its fold-over design. Light weight so it's less of a strain on the antenna connector. The reason for 4 stars is because nothing is perfect, so I still consider this an excceptional antenna for an HT, and will recommend. You can't beat ABBREE quality for this price.

Let's start with what matters most. This antenna, despite being extremely inexpensive, is amazingly effective in improving both reception and transmission. I'm able to listen to, and send reliable signals to, repeaters that are fairly far away. With my Tidradio H8 this morning. In a test this morning, I hit a repeater 15 miles away and was able to be heard acceptably at 2 watts, and wall-to-wall at 5 and 10 watts. The sense I get is that it effectively DOUBLES my reach compared with the rubber ducky that came with it. One matter that concerned me at first was that the antenna felt far too rigid to fold over...I was sure I'd destroy it. A friend who was "braver" folded it over and showed me my fears were unfounded. I haven't tried testing it in the folded-over position yet, but am interested in how the signal strength differs when in folded position.

Great upgrade over the stock antenna! The ABBREE 18.8-inch foldable is sturdy, easy to carry, and makes a noticeable difference on both VHF and UHF. I’m hitting repeaters farther out and getting clearer audio on receive. The foldable design is super convenient, and the SMA-Female fit is secure. Compact, durable, and great performance. highly recommended!

I’ve ran these in baofangs and the cheap pxton radios, they boost range and the vertical ability to pick up anything. They are a bit big but if they allow me to transmit clearly, it’s worth it.

bought 3. 2 are fine. 1 has a messed up connector. No hole for the little wire in the middle update: Turns out I'm dumb. If I can figure out how to blame the rest of you I will update

Value for money

CHEGOU EM OTIMO ESTADO E FUNCIONOU PERFEITAMENTE

Bonne antenne. fait le job. Sa fonction pliable est un bon point pour le transport.

Es muy flexible

In my testing it archived about a 50% improvement over the standard baofeng antenna

The abbree antenna performs very well on received and out going signals both well above the standard rubber duck antennas, and will give the nagoya branded antennas a run for their money this tactical antenna is well worth the purchase and as a replacement antenna works well on the vhf uhf amateur radio bands. 5 stars from me it's well constructed over other known brands well packaged and arrived on time.
