B-Tech Authentic Genuine Nagoya Antenna (19in)

145.000 / ~1.01 SWR 446.000 / ~1.60 SWR That's at home too, surrounded by fairly close power/tele lines. Telephone line in front and power lines on the dirt road behind my house right on the other side of my fence, small yard. I'm in the drive, halfway between the two line. I could limp throw a rock (at a quarter strength) and hit the pole(s) Strong magnet, havent tested highway speeds but it's handled 65mph so far without slipping (yes that's technically highway speed, Im talking "HIGHWAY SPEED👹") Noticeable increase in range, hitting repeaters my handheld antenna couldn't or I am getting a better signal on repeaters I would normally get choppy/static-y transmissions on I can see why people on YouTube always seem to recommend this brand. I have only received 1 Nagoya antenna with unsafe SWR readings(multiple test locations), it was 2.0 on 2M / 4.0 on 70CM... Based on the reviews stating their SWR for that antenna I will assume that I may have just received on that slipped through QC (all cheap unbranded or bingfu antennas are horrible compared to Nagoya antennas, every one I tested were 2.0+ across both bands, heck, my stock antenna has a better SWR than those, surprisingly it's the same SWR as this car antenna 😮. Stock baofeng K5Plus whip style antenna, not the 1.25M antenna)

If you looking for a great antenna for your car, loook no further. Outstandingly good reception, especially for airband and will easily withstand legal road speeds without moving. Tested up to 120mph on private road with no issues. Connected to my TD-H3 handheld radio it performs brilliantly.

I have 3 of these on different vehicles. Highly recommend them.

Good and reliable receiving with this antenna compared to the NA-771.

I've used many different magnetic Mount antennas over the years for many different services, and this antenna has been the most impressive of all in terms of tunability and stability. For the 2 m and 70 cm ham bands, even at high power, the SWR is virtually flat. For UHF GMRS my SWR is around 1.3-1.5:1. Impressive! Good quality RG-58U coax, far better quality than the type of coax supplied by other manufacturers, keep signal loss to a minimum. The magnetic base is coated with a rubberized material and is extraordinarily strong, make certain that the surface you intend on placing it on is not made from aluminum. I've also used this antenna place on a large sheet pan for fixed base use, and the SWR is also very usable like that. Because I am extremely fussy about putting things on the surface of my paint, I would recommend that prior to placing the antenna, wipe off the surface of the paint with a wet clean cloth several times and then dry, and similarly do the same to the bottom of the antenna before placing it. If you remove the antenna, I place it in a clean plastic bag so there's no chance that the bottom of the antenna will pick up on magnetic particulate which could be transferred to the pain finish. This is a quality product that will deliver to the discriminating radio operator, I recommend it with confidence.
