Review: Convenient and great signal antenna - I picked up this antenna because it folds down small and fits in my Summits On The Air (SOTA) pack. I had been using a signal stick and tested the 2 antennas head to head. I made 2 contacts with this antenna that I was not able to get with the signal stick. This one got better signal reports every time. One was a 70 mile VHF contact from a summit. I cannot say how long term durability is, but it seems sturdy enough for my use. I am going to continue to use this as a great antenna for the money.
Review: Excellent Range Boost for Baofeng Radios! - This ABBREE 42.5-inch ham radio antenna works amazingly well with my Baofeng. It really extends the communication range far beyond the stock antenna, making a noticeable difference in signal clarity and distance. The flexible design makes it easy to carry and use without worrying about damage, and the build quality feels solid. For anyone looking to get more performance out of their Baofeng, this is a simple and affordable upgrade that truly delivers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have Nagoya, Abbree, generic, and this is best
*by B***K on May 30, 2024*

. have been using and testing the Nagoya 771 whip, along with the collapsible telescoping diamond whip, this abbree 42" folding is the best I've tested. On a second floor apartment, I went from there only being one tiny spot with signal, to full 4 bars and clear as day with this folding antenna with an extension smr cord, and I actually havent needed to string up my Slim Jim into a tree. And im only using an 8 watt baofeng, and the other hams are telling me im coming in crystal clear. Honestly, I knew it would be better than the Nagoya 771 (yes, I have an authentic Nagoya), but I had no idea how big of a difference. Connecting to a repeated 35 miles away (also in a mountain range, so intermittent signal based on proximity) with no issues at all, the other HAMs were surprised at what equipment I was using and still able to penetrate the walls of the house without externally mounting antenna. All In all, absolutely blew me away compared to everything else. Yes, it is but that's part of why it works so well. It is cumbersome, and you would not want to use a handheld radio with this directly attached (the length really stresses the connector), but I caught around that issue by just attaching an extension to the antenna so I dont have to touch it when in use and therefore the stress is greatly reduced.
