Dualband Antenna 2meter 70cm Mobile VHF/UHF Ham Radio (137-149, 437-480 Mhz) Mag Mount Magnet Base PL-259 Connector, 10 Ft RG58 Cable

This is a great antenna if you are looking for a dual band 1/4 wave antenna. A quarter wave antenna is not very long and consequently has very little wind load. I find the magnet to be very strong. (I don't understand the very few reports saying this antenna has a weak magnet base. That is not the case with the antenna I received. The magnet is very strong!) I cannot comprehend how this antenna could ever blow off the car at any speed ! I'm an old experienced ham. I've been licensed for 68 years. I've learned not to believe a lot of antenna hype put out by manufactures when it comes to gain of the antenna. A quarter wave antenna like this one gives the greatest signal for the buck. It is not much different from those longer 5/8 wave antennas which add a lot of wind load to them making them more unstable and prone to blowing off a car if using a magnet mount. Don't believe all those manufacturer gain reports with their longer fancy gain reports. Maybe some have slightly better gain but in the real world you won't find them to work much better then this antenna if any. Torrain and where the antenna is mounted on the vehicle will be more important then the claimed antenna pattern of an 5/8th wave antenna. (The longer antennas also add a lot more clearance problems too.) You are not in the real world going to get much more if any signal distance using a longer antenna as in a 5/8th wave antenna. I've learned over the years to KEEP IT SIMPLE! (Less grief, less wind load, less obstruction, and less cost.) So the final answer is YES I'd buy this antenna again. Great price, practical design, works just fine, built very well, and the cost is low and it is a bargain. Written by w0vt.

It works for me. Stays put on the roof of my car. I use it on 2 meters, 440 and GMRS. Coax is a little short, 10 feet. Works repeaters with 10 watts. Its cheap and works, buy it.

Read the reviews, and decided to take a chance. Guess I got lucky. Unit works just fine with low SWR. Checked with a NanoVNA and the readings on GMRS are below 1.3, VHF and UHF (which I really expected to be poor) are below 1.5. Not bad for a pre-tuned antenna. Signal checks have been good, and for a cheap antenna, I think it actually works better than my Nagoya 72 at half the price. Seems to me that the magnet is even a bit stronger. As for comments by some that the coax is too short (10 feet), in my smaller vehicle that's a plus, since it eliminates excess cable on the car floor behind the front seat.In the end, keep in mind, this is an inexpensive antenna. It won't last forever, but should do the job for quite a while at the cost of what you'd pay for a carry out pizza. Definitely buying another before the price increases. Can't go wrong for twenty bucks.

Wanted a mobile antenna for my go-bag/go-kit as well as for my portable 2m/70cm. Worked perfect right out of the box. Was able to make contact with local repeater (if 15 miles is local). The compact size of this antenna makes keeping in the car, when not in use, a no "brainer." As it is magnetically mounted, I was worried that it would scratch the pain, this was NOT the case. It does the job it was built to do. I have driven with the antenna in the rain and scorching heat with no issues.

From a quick test on my car roof with VNA on 2m and 70 cm.Magnet not overly strong but does the job.There is no setscrew for tuning, but the SWR is OK as-is.Was going to use on my trunk - but I magnet tested my trunk lid over the hinge before buying. Unfortunately, the lid itself is aluminum.

Bought this antenna for my Uniden BC355N scanner. It works great for listening to commercial aircraft radio traffic. I live in an apartment complex that prohibits any external antennas. This one is much better than the dipole type antennas I tried.

Great antenna for 70cm and 2 meter bands ! Coaxial cable that's Attached is too short but the magnet is super strong and the performance of the unit is really good. Price is right too

This antenna works very well, and does get below 1.5 SWR. I'm currently using it with an old Kenwood 2 meter transceiver, and mounted it to a small bracket on the eve of my garage. I didn't need a ground plane or any other enhancements, and it works beautifully. I'm able to hit all of the local repeaters on low-power. Great product, and an excellent value in my opinion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
