Nagoya NA-701 SMA-Male 8-Inch Whip VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna for YAESU, Vertex, TYT, and Wouxun Radio

Great antenna. Got this as a replacement for the stock duck antenna for my Icom ID-52A Plus. The stock antenna is fine, but I carry it everywhere and appreciate the flexibility of the 701…I don’t worry about banging it against my steering wheel, a door, wife, etc. Performs about the same as the stock antenna on both VHF/UHF (2m & 70cm). I do have the 771 (15”), which performs MUCH better for when I’m in the field or gripping the side of a mountain with my teeth but it’s a little impractical length-wise for daily carry.

This works well and seems to have good range. Better than the oem.

I needed a shorter 2m/70cm antenna for a trip. We were flying and it had to be in my carry on, and then used mostly in a rental car. This was a good option. Not my go to for at home but compact with minimal trade off. TYT MD UV380.

Small and lightweight, works well. I can even hit the local 220 repeater with it even though it isn’t listed for 220. It seems to work as well as the antenna that came on the th-f6.

Purchased in the quest to find an antenna that actually fit on my RadiOddity GD-77 because the included molded antenna doesn't thread on to the radio properly. This antenna works well, and I'm hitting repeaters all around me. Definitely worth it.

This definitely is a genuine Nagoya antenna. It is so easy to get knockoff antennas these days, but this the real deal. I replaced the factory antenna on my Icom ID-51 with this Nagoya 701 and it has made a world of difference. I wasn't expecting such a big improvement, but I now realize how deaf my radio was with the stock antenna. HT antennas are a compromise to begin with no matter what brand you get but some are definitely better than others such as the case with this one. I would definitely buy this antenna again without hesitation. Much better receive on both vhf and uhf.

I noticed higher signal strength on both uhf and vhf transmissions in A/B testing with stock rubber duck antennas. Significantly better NOAA weather channel reception. I’m happy with this purchase.

It's OK I am not impressed. I had to replace an antenna on a TYT MD-UV390 and thought I would give this a try with some decent reviews. My radio has a RSSI display so I placed it on a repeater that was somewhat noisy but understandable with a GOOD TYT stock antenna (I have several UV390's) the readings are around -105-102 dbm. With the new antenna purchased it's the same, there is no difference from the stock China antenna. If you need a replacement it will work fine, if you are looking for an improvement get something else.

Excellent quality, VSWR good at 915 MHz

Very well constructed and tuned antenna and GENUINE have been duped before online but this is the real deal big thumbs up 👍

Muy buena calidad , original

Is small and works perfectly fine!

Better then original antenna, it’s a good replacement but don’t expect a world of difference.
