Bingfu Vehicle Mobile Ham Radio Antenna VHF UHF 136-174MHz 400-470MHz Car Truck Amateur Radio NMO Mount Low Profile Antenna with Lip Mount Fixed Bracket PL259 Male 5m 16.5 feet RG58 Cable

I purchased this dual band antenna setup for my GMRS radio, but will probably use it for my Ham radio as well when needed. I wanted something that'd be discrete without announcing to others that there's a radio installed within the truck, and this antenna suited my intentions very well. I know that distance may be compromised a bit, but having two-way comms is just for rag chewing with others and monitoring for emergencies. In a pinch, I'll have my mobile device with me anyway if I really need to seek EMS. The only 'flaw' with this antenna mount is having to seal up the cable connection at the base of the mount. I wanted to ensure that water won't be trickling down into the cable that will cause problems later in the future. Good thing for silicone sealant... does wonders in sealing up small areas.

Antenna worked for its intended use. I needed an external 2M antenna for within the metro area, VO1 land. I was actually surprised with it's performance when on high elevation. I used the NMO mount for a 5/8 wave when I needed the extra gain and at regular highway speeds of 100 to 110km/h it seemed to be nice and sturdy. The set screws are starting to show corrosion / rust but living on the shore line of the North Atlantic I wouldn't expect it not to. Overall its a good performer. I added some anti-ox to the set screws and electrical connections to help against the corrosion / rust.

This antenna works as well as my Diamond antenna. Perfect for uhf/vhf mobile. I highly recommend this for mobile ham operations.

It works but some of the hardware (a bolt) got rust on it after a year of use.

As long as you can mount it!! Son hoods when lifted will get there paint chipped. So look it over good. But great quality, nice size!
