## Questions & Answers

**Q: Antenna newbie here. It says "Grounded" metal plane, does that mean metal has to be touching the ground (earth) or is a metal object on  roof ok?**
A: "Grounded" metal plane depends on what band antenna you are talking about. For 2 meter and higher frequencies with mobile applications on vehicles, the metallic vehicle body serves as the ground plane. The antenna needs a 1/4 wavelength radius circle of metal at the base of the antenna to serve as a ground plane. This is easily accomplished on most vehicles. HOWEVER, the lower in frequency you go, the more difficult this is to obtain. As a result, antenna tuners may be needed to tune the radio to the antenna.

Base station antennas are either of a vertical or horizontal design/polarization. Most HF verticals need a ground plane under them, usually buried under ground. Horizontal  HF antennas do not usually use a ground plane if they are mounted at least 40 feet above ground. VHF/UHF antennas, both horizontal and vertical, usually use the metal mast it is mounted to as a ground plane. Horizontal beam antennas also have their own builtin "ground plane" in the antenna design.. Height above ground for these antennas is not important, EXCEPT if you are trying for more coverage area.

**Q: The title says "144/430" but the description says it will go up to 520mhz?**
A: It will work there, but not at top efficiency.. Most likely the antenna is tuned for the middle of the 440 band (430), and the middle of the 2 meter band (144)..

**Q: Will this work as a base station antenna?**
A: I don't see why it would not work. It's better than the small 'rubber duck'. However you may wish to consider a physically longer unit 1-2 meters (3-6ft) antenna that can be permanently secured.

**Q: Is this antenna waterproof and can it take the hot sun during the summer time?**
A: I live in extreme Northern Maine on the Canadian border on the US side. We get temperature extremes -50 in the winter and we can certainly get up to 95 in the summer. Mine has served me well in all weather extremes, and I am about to purchase another one, not that mine is broken, but to add a second radio for APRS use.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality
*by A***N on April 7, 2025*

It is designed for both amateur radio and general communications use, featuring a strong build that can withstand outdoor conditions. With a 2m/70cm dual-band frequency range, it delivers good signal reception and transmission quality, making it a popular choice for mobile operations. The antenna is easy to install and offers a decent balance between performance and convenience, although it may not offer the same high-end performance as larger antennas. Overall, the Nagoya UT-72 is a reliable and affordable option for radio enthusiasts who need a portable antenna solution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good antenna but better on VHF than UHF
*by K***C on June 2, 2025*

Better performance and SWR on 2m than 70cm in my case. I have it mounted off-center on an SUV roof. Good antenna overall though. Looks like a basic 1/4-wave VHF.2m: SWR perfect 1.01, goes up slightly at high power, Tx very good, Rx very good70cm: SWR 1.34, goes up slightly at high power, Tx good, Rx fair/noisy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice antenna kit
*by T***E on February 3, 2016*

This is a key component of my poor man's mobile. I'm posting this same review for all the other accessories of the build, but not for the radio which I love and reviewed separately. Here's the build:BaoFeng BF-F8HP Nagoya UT-308UV 22-Inch Magnetic Mount VHF/UHF Antenna SMA-Female for AnyTone, BaoFeng, and YaesuBaoFeng BL-5 12V Battery Eliminator for BF-F8HP and UV-5R RadiosBaofeng BF-S112 Two Way Radio SpeakerRegarding each part. Love the radio.The antenna is good and comes nicely packaged with all the needed parts. What is really nice is that the antenna, base, and feed lines are all separate pieces. Mix and match however you want. The base magnet is strong. The antenna and feed lines work well. The long feed line is about 10' which is plenty for me.The 12V adapter is also OK. It's a tight fit, but does fit. It's also pretty cheap - so modify it as you will to change connectors, move the input line, etc. Personally, I think feeding the wire gets in the way because it enters at the bottom of the radio. Such is life. Maybe I'll modify this thing to use a dedicated circuit instead of a cigarette lighter socket - and put on a longer power cord while I'm at it.The speaker thing. -hate- This thing almost kills the build. The first time I contacted someone they reported weak audio. I pulled the hand set and spoke directly into the radio and my audio improved. Also, the wire coil is too short and stiff. Wayyyy to short and stiff. You end up pulling the radio around by the wire. You might as well just hold the radio.But.... It turns out that wrapping the power cord of the 12V adapter and the antenna feed line is an OK solution.Anyways, this was a fun experiment but in the end it seems better to just use a handheld as a handheld and to get a real mobile for the car.Regardless, five stars for being a nice antenna kit
