NA-701

See Edit below original review. Wow, just wow. I upgraded from the Baofeng UV-5R stock rubber ducky and holy cow is there a huge difference. I receive signals from radios that are quite far away, and they sound crystal clear. I don't have my HAM radio license yet so I haven't gotten a chance to test whether it broadcasts as good as it receives, but this little antenna is a definite must for anyone looking to make their Baofeng work better over greater distances. The price is right and it came in a genuine looking bag. Get one today and thank me later. Analog isn't dead just yet, get your license and join me. Let's start a new ANALOG revolution! Baofeng and Nagoya for the win! Edit: Now that I have had to replace this antenna twice and I have my ticket and actually got to use it, I have to say that I am unimpressed with it. The heat shrink cover came off my first one within a week of moderate use. The heat shrink and the tip came off the second one in less time than the first one and then the coil fell out of the base. What the heck? So I finally took the test and passed and now have my Amateur radio operators license and I got a chance to make a contact with it, after a quick radio check I got back reports that the signal was weak and full of static. Put back on the stock antenna and boom signal still weak but no static. What the heck Nagoya? Y'all are slippin. I have tested this in multiple locations all around Jacksonville, Florida all with the same results. Pathetic. Moving up to a more powerful radio with a real antenna is my only option.

Using this I heard someone I know who was at a different location something like 10 miles away. It only happened once but still.

Value for money the durability is very good/swr very good

Good price. Perfect fit. Works well. Reception seems clearer than the stock antenna my TID-H3 Plus GMRS radio came with.

This antenna has dramatically improved the performance of my handheld radios. I chose to purchase Nagoya strictly through Amazon because there are so many counterfeit Nagoya products floating around out there.

I was able to communicate with a buddy at a distance of 5.3 Miles / 8.5 Kilometers (as the bird flies) using the Nagoya NA-701 antenna! I have tested several other antennas sold on Amazon (designed for GMRS frequencies) and this one is hands down the best antenna I have tested, to date. (some research will tell you Nagoya is one of the best) Antenna tested: Nagoya NA-701 Radios tested: Baofeng UV5-R Baofeng UV-5R5 Baofeng UV-82HP Frequency tested: 462.5625 to 467.7250 (GMRS, Non-Repeater channels, for this test) Notes: This antenna is only ~2" longer than most stock Baofeng antennas, with more flex, and vastly improved transmit/receive ability. High-Power mode was needed for this test, on both ends. Communication was not clear enough to comprehend, on Low-Power mode, at a distance of 5 Miles. Communication was performed outside, with no obstructions other than trees/houses. Yes, I do have a valid GMRS License. (and so should you, to broadcast on GMRS! No test required, and its valid for 10 years) Conclusion: Highly recommend this antenna to anyone wanting to upgrade from their stock HT antenna for VHF/UHF communication.

Antenna are about fit, then performance, and finally balance. This antenna fits great. Next, we all want the great performance of a 2 foot antenna but, we have to carry it around and end up loving and hating long antennas. This 7 3/4" antenna turns out to be in the "just right" category. It performs better than the stock rubber duck antenna while being easier to carry with its highly flexible nature. When all is said and done, this antenna stays on my radio day after day even while 4-5 other antenna options sit on my shelf. I have four handy talkies, and will be ordering more of these.

Shorter than regular 771 antennas and more flexible as well. Great quality and works better than the shipped antennas on Baofengs, Tidradios, Radtel, and similar radios. It installs directly to the radio. Excellent product for the cost. I recommend this antenna.

TRES TRES bien cette Nagoya RB-700N , plus petite et plus souple que la NA 771 mais clairement aussi efficace.

Bonne réception et émissions

Lo utilizo en mi trabajo de horario de 24 hrs y con una sola cargada de la radio tengo suficiente para todo el día e inclusive hasta para más sin utilizar mucho la radio FM que tiene. La antena de la marca NAGOYA cuando realizo traslados o servicios fuera de mi ciudad de un máximo de 9km a 10km de linea recta de ditancia no he tenido problemas alguno, solo una pero dependio de las interferencias del lugar, en fin desde que compré la antena de NAGOYA original me ha ayudado bastante en mis labores de trabajo.

All good

He comprado esta Nagoya NA-701 para mi Baofeng UV-5R Mini y no puedo estar más satisfecho. Si tienes la versión Mini, sabrás que la antena que trae de fábrica es muy básica; este cambio transforma el equipo por completo. 🛠️ Ajuste impecable con la arandela Una de mis preocupaciones era que la antena quedara "suelta" o con espacio en la base, especialmente en el modelo Mini que es tan compacto. Sin embargo, tuve que usar la arandela de goma que viene incluida y el resultado es impecable: queda totalmente al ras del cuerpo del radio, firme y sin holguras. 📡 Desempeño en tamaño compacto • Alcance: A pesar de ser una antena de tamaño medio (unos 21 cm), la ganancia es muy superior a la de serie. En recepción, limpia muchísimo el ruido de fondo en señales débiles. • Portabilidad: Para el UV-5R Mini, esta es la medida máxima que recomiendo. Mantiene la esencia de un radio pequeño y manejable, pero con la potencia de una antena seria. La antena es flexible, así que no se siente rígida ni molesta al moverte. • Calidad: Se nota que es una Nagoya auténtica por el acabado de los materiales y la precisión de la rosca. 📝 Veredicto Si tienes un UV-5R Mini, no lo dudes. Es una inversión pequeña que mejora la transmisión y recepción de forma real. Eso sí, no olvides ponerle la junta/arandela de goma para que el ajuste sea mecánico y estéticamente perfecto. ¡Totalmente recomendada! Buen vendedor. Contestaron a mis dudas rápidamente. 👏👏👏
