Review: Nice - Seems to work very well. I have 4 and they seem to be good quality.
Review: Great Value Based Dual Band Antenna! - I purchased this antenna from TWAYRDIO as a 'quick fix' for a trusty old Maldol mobile antenna that was damaged in a storm. Fully expected it would get me out of a bind but would end up being replaced by another higher quality unit. Boy did I get surprised! Initial impression was that this antenna appeared to be a quality build with nice fit & finish. Those two factors lead me to believe the overall durability will be good and the antenna will hold up to life on the road over time. Being as I was replacing a damaged NMO antenna, installation was super simple and literally only took a few minutes to accomplish. Performance has been pretty good as SWR is 1.6 or lower across the 2M, 70cm, and GMRS bands. Reception and transmission are both (subjectively) lower by a slight amount than the old Maldol I mentioned but that antenna is no longer available and in fairness this antenna does all I need it to do for day to day radio hobby needs. If you're on the fence about this dual band antenna I would encourage you to give it a try. I'm impressed enough to not be concerned with replacing it and would recommend to a friend looking for a budget friendly option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive characteristics beyond what I was expecting.
*by I***Y on October 1, 2020*

I received this antenna today and immediately got busy testing it with my electronic instruments. To be 100% honest I was not expecting much but I was in for a pleasant surprise. I have this antenna mounted atop my large car roof with a TRAM NMO Mag Mount (see photo). So far this purchase has exceeded my expectations. The antenna came properly tuned for VHF and UHF amateur bands. VHF SWR is 1.04 : 1 and UHF is 1.51 : 1. After sweeping this antenna on a Vector Impedance Analyzer I think I may be able to get the SWR on UHF lower by removing ~ 3/8 of an inch from the element but the antenna is usable out of the box as-is. Nice item. I am tempted to purchase another one to keep as a spare or give as a gift. 73's. UPDATE: I trimmed 1/4" off the bottom and got the 70cm SWR from 1.51 down to 1.40. The 2 meter SWR stayed the same at an awesome 1.04. Cheers.
