Comet SBB-5NMO Dual-Band 2M/70cm Mobile Antenna 146/446 MHz NMO Mount 3 dBi Gain 200 W PEP VHF/UHF Ham Radio Antenna for Cars, Trucks, and Base Use

Great antenna with fantastic SWR out of the box! I like that it folds down when needed.

Love my new SBB-5. SWR 1.3 right out of the box so no need to set. The F/O works great, it's really well made and the price doesn't break the bank. Thank you, comet!

Great range and quality in all weather and the reception is perfect for a lower profile Durability: Has lasted for almost a year now and is doing great Quality: No water issues at all and the build material is steady Range: I can hit a repeater almost 30 miles away with lots of things in the line of sight path

Works. I like the sbb7 better. More gain but the sbb5 does perform ok.

Excellent gain on VHF and UHF. Ad claims 1.5 swr. However, the antenna seems to be maximized at the low end of 2 meters, and around 458 mhz on the 70cm side. While I would rather see it optimized at the high-transmit repeater input frequencies, the difference between 1.5 and .5 really doesn't hurt much, and being a dual-bander at the length of it (38 inches), there will, of necessity, be compromises. Antenna folds over for driving into the garage or under low tree coverage. I'm going to use it as it is -- fooling around with it could screw the whole thing up. Put it smack in the middle of the car roof for best SWR and radiation pattern.

Not my main antenna, I will use it as a spare

Pretty impressed with this. I use a 50w mobile as a base station in my basement, and on good days I can pick up repeaters 40 miles away. If I got this antenna outside and higher up, I'd really have some range.

Good performance
