Good quality made antenna, brass base, good fit and finish, looks clean. Works well with good VSWR as long as your mounting location has ground plane. I use a couple of these and have good results with them.

Great low profile dual band antenna. I installed this on my 2013 Prius using the TRAM NMO trunk lip mount and it works great, despite being on the corner of the roof of the car. I did bend the element slightly to keep it vertical since the mount is on the sloping part of the hatch. Overall, a very good antenna for the money. We'll see how it holds up over time. I still have some 20+ year old mobile antennas that still work!

This antenna works well on both VHF and UHF when mounted on the vehicle's roof due to the added height, particularly on a SUV or RV. When mounted on the trunk lid/rear deck lid or fender, it has basic quarter wave performance on receive for both, and VHF transmit, and only a marginally increased performance on UHF transmit. As with most quarter wave style antennas, it can be trimmed some to frequencies used.

Looking for a good durable and affordable dual band antenna, it does have some gain, but it's not a 5/8 wave, the tram 1181 fills the bill. these are very affordable antennas-around $15-20. unity gain on vhf, and 2.5db gain on uhf. pre-tuned for the 2m/70cm ham bands. the build quality is good on the nmo base, and the antenna itself is pre-tuned and ready to use. antenna itself is good quality heavy type black coated metal stinger that handles at least 50 watts, as that is what i'm running thru it. i own 2 of these units and they are broad banded and work just fine for local area repeaters and simplex stations. i haven't had any problems or issues with either of mine. one is on the car, the other one i'm using on a base kit for a simplex repeater, also running 50 watts. looking for something that works for your portable or mobile, and don't, or might not want longer 5/8 wave, and want a lower price too, be sure and check this antenna out. think you'll be happy and surprised at it. i was. be great to have an extra one just to have ready in a go bag, or an extra to put on a mag mount on a friends car if going out with them and they don't have an antenna, quick antenna on a second vehicle your own. i like my units. and for the price, can't beat it, with capabilities for both bands-pre-tuned and low swr. i checked mine and that was all i did--didn't touch or even think about any slight adjustments to it. was that good! i'm sure these will last for many years for me and do just fine. really nothing to go bad or wrong on them. nice black finish on antenna and the nmo mount. give them a look.Read full review
