Tram 3 ft. Omnidirectional CB Antenna, 500W Power Handling, Waterproof Design, UHF-Female SO-239 Connector, Includes Mounting Bracket & Stainless Steel Hardware (Cable Not Included)

This works great at home in my condo! Very low-profile so the whiney-cry babies don't complain that I have an antenna attached. I hide it behind the trees as we live upstairs. Good SWR also!Once a C.B. operator.....ALWAYS a C.B. operator. I operate Ham radio as well as GMRS so this antenna fits right in with the rest!

This antenna is pretty good as a temporary fix. I used it with 100 ft coax and the SWR was about 1 across all channels. I had it fixed to the eaves about roof level and it did ok on AM but seemed to do better on SSB when the skip was around.This thing is light and easy to find a place to put it, probably even use duct tape to stick it anywhere and it’d be ok.If you can use the recommended length of coax to get the SWR low and you can’t use a full size antenna for whatever reason, this is a cheap, workable option.

I especially liked the "compact" design, it fit perfectly in the house attic, I'm using it for a Part 15 low power hobby/experimental AM radio station. It tuned 100% for 1670 Khz with no high SWR.Performance is excellent, easy to install and range I'm getting on micro power 100mw on the AM radio broadcast band is up to 2.4 miles.It was well worth the money, I'm very pleased.

SO SAD! I BOUGHT THIS ANTENNA, BECAUSE OF GOOD REVIEWS. BUT THIS ANTENNA IS JUST A CRAP. IT PRODUCES A LOT SIGNAL LEAKAGE, I THOUGH MAYBE IT CAME BROKEN OR FACTORY DEFECTIVE, THEN I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT. SAME DAMN THING, A LOT SIGNAL LEAKAGE, EVEN IT KILLS MY MODEM WIFI. I HAVE A HOME MADE DIPOLE, 0% SIGNAL LEAKAGE. THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. I DON`T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO AMAZON, THEY JUST WANT TO GET THEIR % OF SALE ON CRAPPY THINGS PEOPLE WANT TO SALE. AMAZON SHOULD START MAKING TEST BEFORE POSTING THEM. WHAT A SHAME!

Great price for the antenna. I am using this antenna on the 10 meter band and have it at mounted at 50 feet up and most days it works better than my full wave dipole. I have it on 100 feet of mini 8 and on the analyzer SWR reads 1.2. I have used it on my HF radio on 6,10, 20,40 and 80 meters with the internal tuner and it worked great there as well. I just wanted to see what it would do being it don't so great with the 10 meter rig. I have worked about every station I could hear in the USA and worked a number of stations outside the US. As I said it is a great price for how well it works and a great backup antenna for HF. I did at first have it on a 10 foot piece of top rail fence pipe and drove in the ground about 10 inches to see how well it worked when I first got it and it worked good enough there to work a few stations. I was going to use this for field days but decided to put it on the tower instead and I will order me another one to pack with my field day rig.

Let me preface with my setup. I have a Uniden Bearcat 980SSB that I am using as a base and I'm running barefoot. I'm presently using a homemade field antenna with a 53" whip and 2-4 10' radials mounted to a camera tripod with an extra 4' mast and I can talk about 15-20 miles, verified. My normal antenna is about 12'-13' to the tip. I was excited about this NGP but admittedly I had read good and bad reports. Some claiming it was junk and others singing it's praises. I received the antenna and the first thing I had to do was repair it. The bottom rivet was missing so I pulled it apart as it slides apart easily without that bottom rivet, checked continuity, reinstalled, placed a small screw in the missing rivet hole and check continuity again. All seemed well. My first attempt was on a tripod with 8' of mast pushing the base of the Tram up in the air to about 12'. I will say it looks good up there with a simple profile and it looks like it could really do some work. With 50' of new coax laid out straight, I couldn't talk or receive and SWR was about 2.5+ across the bands. After reading the reviews I switched to a new roll of Workman 100' cable and tried again in the same configuration. SWR came down to below 2 but barely. I hit a trucker about 8 miles away (verified) but could barely hear him back, having to turn the squelch all the way down. He said I sounded good but no so much on my end. Even now, sitting here with the squelch turned all the way down, traffic is just barely breaking though and I'm 1/2 mile from a major Interstate. I'm going to play with this antenna some more but right now, as far as using it as a permanent mount, it's probably not going to happen since I can't tune it without a tuner. That would just mask the problem anyway. I had high hopes for this stealth mount antenna but for my needs, so far it's a fail. It's also very noisy.

I bought this because of the reviews other people posted. For me does not work on 11 m works from 2550 to 2600 MHz. 1.4 On my SWR meter And that frequency range 11 m is over 3. What the heck did I buy?
