UAYESOK27MHz Mobile CB Radio Antenna 40.5inches Stainless Steel Whip Antenna Loading Coil PL259 Connector

The item arrived promptly, and was packaged fairly well.The actual construction looked a bit contrived, with a piece of rubber hose at the base, and a overly flexible midshaft loading coil. No instructions were included, but you don't need them.First test was continuity in a number of SO-239 bases, both magnetic and trunk based. There was some give on the rubber hose on tightening, and continuity was very inconsistent on the trunk mount. I didn't feel comfortable using on that, and tried a few mag mounts. These seemed a bit more stable, but not perfect.Frequency behavior was determined with several industry standard meters, with disappointing results.VSWR on the trunk mount in open air was 1.7 at 25.6 MHz, with the antenna whip fully retracted. This means cutting the whip, which isn't the first thing an 11 meter (or 10 meter) user wants to do.On the mag mounts, the VSWR nulled at 1.6 at 26.5 MHz; again, not terribly impressive.I would not recommend this for the weekend traveler.This is not a solidly constructed antenna, and I replaced it with my old standard.It is certainly not value for money.

Straight out of the box, the antenna was tuned to ... 22.6MHz. There is absolutely no way it can be tuned to 27 MHz with the existing loading coil and the whip. Moreover, the low-SWR bandwidth is very narrow.

I have set it up for my cb radio and got a very high SWR reading couldn’t get a better SWR then I read the installation found out that I needed a magnet Mount type waste money

Nice value for the money easy to install

Great antenna for the price.

works perfect

Horrible VSWR made it not useable as intended. Had to lengthen antenna not shorten it to tune. Ended up in the trash.

Arrived on time, no damages..screwed on and worked well!!
