Antenna Recommendation

Despite the tremendous price increase over the earlier recommendation, Hans likes what I am calling the $4.98 antenna.

He says:
"These antennas now replace about most others here. In some cases they don’t improve performance (Wouxun and Quansheng stock antennas are fine), but this antenna is sturdier than most. Please note that this antenna is only available with an SMA-F connector."

  1. I keep going back to this article: http://blog.g4ilo.com/2012/08/the-379-antenna.html

    Having said that, I own a couple of these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/ECONOMY-DUAL-BAND-VHF-UHF-144-440mhz-SMA-MALE-HAM-RADIO-HT-ANTENNA-7-5-/290848368422?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Antennas&hash=item43b7e9e726

    which are quite indestructible and seem to work well

  2. I bought one of these a few weeks ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/161001143510?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    $3.56 and it has Wouxun stamped on the side of it. Seems to work ok.
