HYS 27Mhz Telescopic/Rod HT BNC CB Radio Antenna, 9-Inch to 51-inch

It works! It really pulls in receiving signals that the rubber antenna can't and transmits better too by reports I receive! I would not recommend taking this walking through the woods where there is lower tree branches or bushes, you don't want to break it! The antenna also works on a radio scanner that has pre-programmed CB radio frequencies, it pulls in the signals. But it does work! Worth the price!

Excellent telescoping cb antennas, they actually work pretty well to both send and receive transmissions, get a clear signal, good build quality, the connector is the correct one to fit a handheld cb, using these with a variety of radios, no complaints, one of the best antennas currently on the market

My husband is a daily big truck driver who always uses a cb radio in his big truck. While traveling which we do often he hated not having a cb in my car. I bought this for him for Christmas and it’s been in my car since! Great range and reception. Size is not bulky! Lasts a long time, great sound quality! He is thrilled when having this on trips! Also bought other accessories for it like antenna and such. Those worked perfectly for this hand held cb. Must have!!!

This antenna is more effective than a rubber duck antenna. I don't have a swr/watt meter. I had to use a local CB'ers live stream of CB channel 19. I couldn't hear my signal on the live stream when the rubber duck antenna was in use. When this HYS 27MHz antenna is in use I could hear my signal on the local CB'ers live stream. That is a 4 mile distance. Good range in a metropolitan area. Build quality feels average amongst many telescoping antennas. It really is 51 inches long as advertised. At 27MHz you really do need long antennas to do the job. I am unsure if the black plastic section is housing a loading coil. Happy with the antenna.

Works as well as the original rubber duck antenna for DX skip reception when conditions are good.

Works perfectly fine, better reception than the stock antanna

The HYS 27Mhz Antenna 9-Inch to 51-inch Telescopic/Rod HT Antennas for CB Handheld/Portable Radio with BNC Connector Compatible with Cobra Midland Uniden Anytone CB Radio has performed beyond my expectations! I’m vacationing in the desert of southwest Arizona and the antenna has out performed the supplied “rubber duck” for my portable Uniden CB radio. My base station is in my RV and I have communicated with my wife more than 5 miles away, static free! Here’s the main reason for my stellar review: Upon receiving the antenna, I removed it from its packaging, extended it, and in doing so, the very tip of the antenna separated from the rest of the telescoping part. I contacted the company and explained. They immediately sent me a replacement, without original packaging, no postage, no return of the damaged antenna! Amazing! In a world of poor customer service, this company stood behind me and didn’t let me down! I’d urge anyone looking for a 27 MHZ antenna as a replacement for their rubber duck, to look no further!

This is a big upgrade over the previous large tactical folding antenna I got. The advantages are: it’s longer which helps improve reception, it’s much smaller when collapsed, it seems less heavy so I’m not as worried about the antenna mount getting damaged if I move the radio with the antenna extended, it’s exposed metal which is better for receive and transmit. The only disadvantage I can see is that you have to collapse it from the bottom pulling the segments down until you get to the top, as opposed to pushing the top directly down. But given how much more compact this is knowing how to correctly collapse it really mitigates that issue.

Compré la antena para un radio uniden pro401hh,y no funcionó..... No recibe ningún tipo de señal.... Gracias de todas maneras al vendedor.... Saludos desde nuevo Laredo Tamaulipas

Excellente antenne

Good range and not much static

good

I chose this antenna for scanner use and it was the least expensive choice. When it performed poorly I swept it with a VNA. Turns out it was resonant around 27 MHz. To be fair, it is labeled "27 MHz" but I dont recall that information being in the listing... The base easily unthreads and exposes the loading coil, which I jumpered with a piece of wire. Now, the antenna performs well across the VHF band. A very simple mod. Otherwise built as well as you could expect a $14 antenna to be! No complaints.
