Good purchase
Good magnetic base looks like it will last for many years. Worked great on 2 meter Repeters not had chance to try on 70cm yet due to lockdown. Good value

Bad for UHF (FRS + GMRS). Good for VHF.
My conclusions after conducting several range tests:- Performs WORSE across UHF (including GMRS) than the standard HT ("walkie") stock 8" rubber duckie antenna.- Performs BETTER on VHF than the stock 8".Disclaimer: I only tested the one Tram 1185 that I ordered. Maybe it's defective? Even if so, not worth returning: will keep as VHF ant.Test conditions:- Tested multiple frequencies at the center and edges of the specified 435-450 MHz tuning range. I realize the 462/467 GMRS frequencies are outside this antenna's range, but the poor results were found at ~440 MHz.- Ant mounted magnetically on car.- Tested 8W transmitter using both stock ant, and the Tram, at various distances and terrains.Funny: the 19" Tram 1185 on a car with a 20W transmitter performed EQUAL to a 8W HT with 8" stock!On VHF (~147.580) the Tram was received about 30% clearer (~+2dB) than the stock 8", so that's about what I'd expect and hope for.Rating:I still rate this 3/5 because it's inexpensive, has a long 12" cable, and the magnet base hold strong.

Macht einen guten Job
Die Antenne an sich ist gut verarbeitet, die Leistung sehr gut. Ich hab sie mit 50 Watt befeuert und sie lebt noch. ;)Der Magnetfuß sitzt stramm, die Antenne kann abgeschraubt werden. Was mir nicht so gut gefällt ist der Fuß an sich, da ist nur eine ganz dünne Folie zwischen Magnet und Blechdach. Mal sehen, wie gut das der Lack verträgt.Ansonsten ein guter Clone einer bekannten Antenne. würde ich wieder kaufen.

Super Leistung
Super Leistung sowohl beim senden als auch empfangen kann ich nur weiter empfehlen hält auch bei 180 km/h noch auf dem Dach ohne zu verrutschen
