Review: Excellent Dual-Band Antenna at a Great Price - I bought this antenna to replace a Comet antenna that broke, and I have to say, I’m impressed. Despite being half the price of the Comet, this antenna performs just as well, if not better, in many respects. The transmit and receive quality is excellent across 2m, 70cm, GMRS, and MURS bands. Signals come in clear and strong, even at a distance, and my transmissions are consistently reported as crisp. It’s a pretuned dual-band antenna, so setup was quick and easy—just mount and go. The build quality feels solid, and it holds up well to outdoor conditions, which is important for anyone needing reliable performance in various environments. At 150 watts, it handles plenty of power for most applications, making it versatile enough for both base and mobile setups. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-performing dual-band antenna, this is a fantastic choice. It exceeded my expectations and is an excellent value for the price.
Review: Excellent Antenna. SAME, EXACT thing as the two "Bigger Names" that cost more! - Let me preface by saying this is the first NMO mount antenna I've ever purchased. Ordered the matching 5 inch extremely powerful NMO mag mount (Also Tram) for it. (WOW, what a magnet!). Came with a nice little allen wrench BUT was pre-tuned perfectly out of the "bag"...(2m and 440)....Hooking it up, I IMMEADIATELY noticed much, MUCH stronger reception and I was able to get reports back on a pair of my closest repeators, sitting in my yard, one Southerly, 32 miles away, the other about 27 miles to my West on a mere 5 watts. Can't ait to try what I can reach on 50...(I was picking up a repeator clearly from Mt.Mitchell, NC...6500 ft elevation helps ofcourse BUT it's still 135+ miles away!. (AND my yard is full of trees). I still have an old 1/4 Wave Tram from 35 years ago.....They make great antennas that are exactly like the other "Two Big Names" BECAUSE all 3 are owned by the same company! Not a knock on the other "names" BUT why spend 25 to 50 bux or MORE for the exact....Same....Thing? Can't wait to try getting on a net tonight that's a little over 72 miles away on Caesar's Head Mtn. (about 3500 ft).... SO glad period, to be back in the "ham radio fold" again.
