Browning® 160-Watt Wide-Band 380 MHz to 520 MHz Antenna with Spring and NMO Mounting (Black)

I don’t know much about GMRS radios and what makes a good antenna and what are the numbers people talk about but real world shade tree install and just messing around works great. With a 25 watt truck radio talking with a 5 watt portable had about a 2 mile range and that was with some hills and forest. With 2 25 watt radios was getting 5-6 miles. Also went from picking up 1 weather channel I can pick up 2 both about 30 miles away

I purchased this little antenna for my truck and I operate the 440 MHz ham band and also GMRS. The quality is outstanding, and it performs very well. The highest SWR is a 1.3 across the band right out of the package for me so I didn't even bother trimming the whip. It performs very well, and I can hit repeaters at least 20 miles away at times. I love the black color and how short it is too! I have it on a 3 inch mag mount right in the center of the roof on my 4 door pickup. Talk about an excellent ground plane! If you are thinking about buying this antenna don't hesitate. I know I am very pleased with Browning, and I always have been in the past with other Browning antennas I purchased.

I’m really impressed with this radio antenna! Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid and durable. It greatly improved the signal strength on my radio, providing clearer reception and better overall performance. The antenna is compact yet powerful. I’ve noticed a significant increase in range and sound quality compared to the antenna i had. I highly recommend giving this antenna a try!

Item is exactly as described in the listing. The one I received was drop shipped from the supplier that provides them to the seller. Product arrived before the projected delivery date. I have not had a chance to put a meter inline with the antenna to check SWR. From what I have observed so far, I would buy again if I needed another.

Great product

This was a little bit of a hassle to get, the first one was missing the antenna, I only received the packaging and the alan wrench. Sent a message to Amazon and they sent out the second one, that one arrived with out the whip, just the base. Finally the third time I received a complete antenna and it works great. Would highly this antenna for gmrs and on a UTV.

Ive had this antenna for many years. I use it on ham, gmrs and occasionally to monitor business band. When mounted on center roof with nmo, it performs phenomenal. Theres only one other antenna that does better and its 6X the size.

Tuned right up to a SWR of 1.09. Excellent signal reports. Overall, a solid UHF 1/2 wave antenna.
