Authentic Genuine Nagoya NA-771 15.6-Inch Whip VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna SMA-Female for BTECH and BaoFeng Radios

I brought one of these alongside one of the Abree Tacti-cool antennas. Not a lot to difference when it comes to RX but this easily beats the Abree in a straight up TX comparison.

This antenna is a replacement antenna on various handheld radios. Works perfectly on my SenhaiX 8800. Better range than the rubber duck.

As far as I can tell, the antenna I received is a 100% genuine Nagoya NA-771 antenna. I used the guidance at Nagoya's How-to-identify-the-genuine-and-fake-antenna web-page and the item I received matches all the examples for a genuine antenna and sleeve - the printing is good, the sleeve bag is good and the antenna came with a spacer o-ring.I don't have the equipment to test whether it behaves as it should, but when I connected it to my UV-5R handset I was able to receive signals at a fair range, better I think than the stock antenna (but I didn't test it super-hard before switching to the NA-771 full-time).

Ordered this as it covers the 3 bands, but received the NA-771 instead! OK, I can use it for what I need, but it’s NOT what is described!!

Picks up all bands advertised.

All good

Nice ground plane set needs an NMO plug though or some kind of convertor

This is FAR from a high-gain antenna. The power in will be the power out with this design, in theory, in practice this will lower your signal with such low dBi as this antenna has. This is false advertising claiming that this is a high-gain antenna.Does it function as intended? Well no, this antenna cannot possibly create any gain improvements, which the description claims. What it will do is slightly lower your power than the radio outputs.However, it may be an improvement over stock antennas which are usually worse than this antenna.
