Retevis RHD771 Walkie Talkie Antenna SMA-M Dual Band UHF VHF Compatible with Retevis RT3S RT82 RT83 RT87 RA89 Baofeng UV-3R TYT MD-380 MD-280 Wouxun (1 pcs)

I bought this for my RT3S as an enhancement over the stock antenna.The first one I received seemed to be performing about the same as stock, in some cases worse on 70cms so I checked it out on my VNA and noticed the SWR was way out of band.So, the good news! I contacted Retevis support and bad an almost instant reply from a staff member called Karen who asked me for the details. Upon sending these they immediately promised to send me out a replacement antenna, kept me up to date with tracking details and the like, and I received the replacement as quickly as I did my initial order.As you can see, this one is pretty much bob on for a handheld antenna, and on receive at least is performing much better.So, a well built antenna, it certainly seems rugged enough and looks like it can take a bit of a battering, good performance and most importantly of all, excellent service from Retevis.

Have tried a few antenna upgrades, tactical folding, telescopic, and this retevis whip seems to be the best overall, a big improvement over stock antenna. It is a diamond 771 clone, but much cheaper, with no loss in quality. Very pleased

Fantastic upgrade for my rt3s. Far more superior to the one that came stock. I can open a repeater that is 8 miles away and blocked by a couple of hills... very impressed.Absolutely 5 stars

I received my radio yesterday and the quality of this product soon became apparent as soon as I opened the box. It has a very sturdy feel to it with very positive buttons. This is not a Baofeng in any shape or form and the menu structure is much the same as the Tyt radios. As I am somewhat of an addict of hand held transceivers, the menus were easy to navigate and I programmed the radio via the keypad in about 20 minutes with all my local repeaters and some simplex channels. This radio is small but the speaker audio is a pleasure to listen to and I have received very good transmit audio reports. The 2 hours charge time is reflected in the lower capacity battery but so far, after some lengthy qsos on 5 watts the first charge shows no sign of diminnishing. I am truly delighted with this excellent quality radio and would recommend it to anyone willing to pay a little bit more for a lot more quality.I am totally blind and have been able to programme the radio straight out of the box due to it's excellent voice prompt with no sighted help so would recommend it for anyone who is totally blind wanting a radio they can programme without needing help.

If you’re looking to improve the performance of your stock antenna, then this is the one. A major improvement will be seen. Highly recommended. I’ve got three of them here on various radios…. Massive increase in performance, but quite a bit longer in length than the stock antenna. You won’t be disappointed.

Bought this to on my yeasu ft70 and yes it has improved the radio on tx and rx 100%.Well worth the money and I've found with retevis you can't go wrong.well made

2m is too high swr so not too useful. 70cm is okay.

On 70cm it gives better receive performance than the stock antenna that came with my transceiver (probably due to its additional length). On 2m the performance is demonstrably worse and the SWR is off the chart. It seems to be resonant down at 138MHz not at 144MHz. I will keep it for use on 70cm and cannot recommend it as a "dua band antenna" for 2m and 70cm.

Eine super antenne in bester Qualität!

Premessa:Sono radioamatore da molti anni ed ho una discreta esperienza con radio palmari e le relative antenne.Posseggo diverse antenne per portatili, anche di marche blasonate, e devo dire che questa Retevis offre un rapporto prezzo/prestazioni assolutamente vincente.Il guadagno è tangibilmente superiore ed i materiali costruttivi sono di buona qualita. Io la uso prevalentemente su di un Yaesu FT2 e va ultrabene.L'antenna "calza bene " su Yaesu VX-2, VX2, FT2D mentre su Icom IC-E92D lascia un poco di spazio fra la base dell'antenna ed il corpo della radio.Vorrei riportare il ROS misurato con uno strumento digitale:144.000 MHz - 1.88:1145.000 MHz - 2.10:1146.000 MHz - 2.21:1432.000 MHz - 2.22:1433.000 MHz - 2.24:1434.000 MHz - 2.34:1435.000 MHz - 2.36:1Anche se in assoluto non sono valori di ROS bassi, se paragonati ai valori misurati su antenne ben più costose sono da considerarsi eccellenti in quanto ho potuto riscontrare su tutti modelli valori di ROS spesso superiori a 8:1 e comunque mai inferiori a 4:1.Per i motivi citati qui sopra questa antenna é diventata la mia preferita nell'utilizzo outdoor. Certo é un pochino più lunga del normale ma la differenza non é poi così drammatica e la differenza di prestazioni giustifica ampiamente la (piccola) scomodità di una frusta di 30 cm ...

Améliore considérablement la portée du RFlink

An sich gute Antenne, verbessert spürbar Empfangs-/Sendeleistung. Passt nur leider nicht 100% auf das Yaesu FT5DE. Das Gewinde der Antenne ist nicht tief/lang genug, damit lässt sich die Antenne nicht ganz bis zum Gehäuse der Funke aufschrauben. Es bleibt ein kleiner Spalt. Funktionalität ist davon nicht beeinträchtigt, Stabilität passt auch, aber man sieht halt durch den verbleibenden Spalt dass es nicht ganz genau passt…wird aber ja auch nicht speziell für das FT5DE beworben, von daher…

Lam gut Verpackt zu mir. Antenne macht ein guten Dienst
