Anina 3DB Gain GMRS Antenna NMO Mount, Dual-Band UHF VHF 136-174MHz 400-470MHz, 3.5” Antenna NMO Connection for Midland Car Truck Ham Radio Amateur Mobile Radio Two Way Radio Marine Boat VHF Radio

Easy to install, easy to hide, has great range and reception with FRS/GMRS radios.

Very impressive little antenna with my Retrevis RA86 at 20 watts I can reach all 3 of the repeaters in Tucson, AZ. The size is very compact only 3-1/2” tall and mounted on a truck lip NMO mount. Ease of installation was super simple a 5 year old could install it and functionality is a no brainer no running is required giving you the maximum range out of this small package.

Antenna works great, I can hit all the local repeaters. It’s low profile and sleek, for people that don’t want large antennas on their vehicle, this one’s a no-brainer.

Item came defective and did not work for me. I read the reviews and it seems these are hit or miss. My item came and appeared like it had already been used it had some minor scuffing that made it look like it had been used and possibly returned. Box was sealed up though like new. Tested and mounted and tried everything. Primarily the GMRS didnt pick up a single thing. Not even when there was stuff going on the airwaves it didnt pick up a single thing. I retested to be sure with trying a baofeng and some basic FM stations and it didnt pick up anything either. Thankfully the return process is easy. These are great when they work from my understanding. I just so happened to get a DOA or dud.

On UHF I’m getting really good performance. SWR is less than 1.2 up to 50w on 70 cm. GMRS is around 1.8. Able to get into all the repeaters in town. Obviously won’t be as clear as a large antenna but this thing hits above its size class. I would not call this a solid VHF antenna though. SWR is around 4-5 across the 2m band so I don’t plan on keying up at high power. Still usable to monitor the repeaters alright. You can’t really tell from the pics but on the RB-700 there’s a bit of a gap between the O-ring and the mount base, but that’s more the mount’s fault being so narrow. If it were surface mounted the O-ring would be fully sealed. I mainly use 70 cm and GMRS so the VHF isn’t a deal breaker. Overall a great little antenna I can run when I don’t want to risk theft or damage of my triband.

I previously placed a review on this item that was meant for a different product. This is the correct review. With this item it works very well and with the NMO connection I was able to utilize a mount that otherwise would have been thrown out.

Very good performance much better tx rx than 6 inch antenna

Purchased so i wouldn't have to use the long antenna all the time. But works good enough I rarely switch over.
