Berwy Berwy WHIPPY....
I got this because its got BNC and its got good reviews. The rewiews are on point. It gets the job done. The BNC connector is a big plus for stability when you swap out antennas.This thing is whippy. It has a great big range of flex that makes it hard to break. It also takes strain off the connector. It keeps moving even after you put the radio down. Be warned. It can knock it over.Good antenna. Buy one.

Good performance and well made.
My portable radio was sitting next to my recliner on a side table. It had this antenna on it and while on scan it picked up the ISS perfectly as it passed over on 5+ S.It seems well made.

A good antenna
After finding that my calibration on my nano vna was off, I must revisit this review.When properly calibrated, I find that the SWR on this antenna is quite reasonable. SWR is just less than 2 on the VHF side, but very low (less than 1.2 on 440) on the UHF side. Compared to a handful of other antennas, I find that it has the lowest SWR on UHF than any of them.It seems that this antenna does make a difference on the UHF side, at least on DMR. VHF doesn't seem to be quite as strong though.I will say that I regard it as a good antenna, and apologize to the seller for any misconceptions that my previous review might have given.So, given the quality construction, and reasonable SWR readings, I must update my review and credit the antenna with more stars. It seems to be a good antenna.

Is the antenna any good?
Works great. I am able to hit several repeaters I could not with the original antenna. Also receives aviation frequencies better than a aviation antenna.CL KC7BJE

Works great and is a tad long and flexible
I lost my antenna doing touch and goes in my Powered Parachute so I ordered this replacement. It works great at my house and at the airport. I haven't taken it up flying yet but I think it will be fine. I have an Icon A6 radio. It is rather long and quite flexible so the end flops around a bit more than I'd like.

144Mhz SWR is 1.03! Can't get much better than that. 440mhz SWR 1.43 GREAT For the money!
Added this little gem to my Quansheng (added a sma to BNC connector) and WOW! For the money I wasn't expecting the results I got.SWR 140Mhz 1.03 and 440mhz SWR 1.43!The not so good: GMRS SWR is 3.0 and it won't even transmit 220mhz (must be back feeding it all?)Plus a bonus, it picks up AM aircraft 124mhz pretty good! Overall for the money this is a steal. It destroys my Nagoya NA-320A which im a little mad about.

Awsome reception
Oh my god 10 times better the the orange one.. I love it, same company but this works better.
User
High SWR, not the best RX or TX either one
Seems a quality made product, but SWR tests super high (~4:1). Skip this one and get something else. It is cheap, but not good RX or TX with this antenna. Little difference between this and the stock Baofeng rubber ducky

Excellent 70cm UHF performance.
I think anything performs better than the small Uniden scanner antenna. I then bought a 12 inch (30.5cm) 25-1300 mhz scanner antenna for improved performance. I listen a lot to 2m-70cm ham repeaters on the scanner.Now I'm trying this HYS-771N antenna I found the perfomance a little (not much) better on the 2m band than the 12 inch aftermarket scanner antenna I bought. But on the 70cm band (1/2 wave) on this antenna the performance was fantastic compared to my scanner antenners and this is where the upgrade is worth it. This antenna is rated at 1/4 wave at 2m. I have a dedicated 5/8 wave 2m antenna which out performs this antenna but is much longer and might be a bit of a hassle on the go for some people. So for top performance I use this antenna for 70 cm listening and my dedicated (much longer) 5/8 wave antenna for 2m. I don't transmit so can't comment on transmission performance.Also antenna packet says also receive only modes on 120/150/300/450/900 Mhz bands which I so far havn't tried.
User
Really impressed
At this price I wasn't expecting a whole lot to be impressed with, but I was proven wrong. I'm very impressed with the performance and build quality of this antenna. Its a massive improvement over my UBC125XLT's supplied rubber duck antenna. Its performance is great over both VHF and UHF (receive only, I'm not using it to transmit).. Recommended
User
A lot better than the stock Uniden scanner antenna.
A lot better than the stock Uniden the scanner antenna.Working well in the aviation band also.
User
Great
Does a better job than I thought picked up airport tower and ground 80 miles away
User
Works a treat
Noticeably better reception for airband than factory fitted uniden scanner
