CHEGOU EM OTIMO ESTADO E FUNCIONOU PERFEITAMENTE

Unboxing and First ImpressionsThe ABBREE SMA-Female Ham Radio Antenna comes well-packaged and immediately impresses with its sleek, black design. The foldable, soft antenna design is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Its 18.8-inch length (48 cm) strikes a good balance between portability and performance.Performance and FeaturesConnector Type and Compatibility:The SMA-Female connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of Baofeng and other radio models, including the BF-888S, UV-5R series, UV-82 series, and many others. This makes it a versatile choice for users with multiple radio models.Frequency and Gain:Operating on dual-band VHF/UHF frequencies of 144/430 MHz, this antenna offers reliable performance across these common ham radio bands. The gain of 2.15dBi (VHF) and 3.2dBi (UHF) enhances signal reception and transmission, ensuring clearer communication over longer distances.Signal and Impedance:With a maximum power rating of 20 Watts and an impedance of 50 Ohms, the antenna maintains strong signal integrity. The V.S.W.R. of less than 1.5 further indicates efficient power transfer, minimizing signal loss and enhancing overall performance.Portability and Design:The foldable design of the AR-152A is one of its standout features. This makes it highly portable and convenient for field use, as it can be easily stowed away when not in use. The soft, flexible nature of the antenna also makes it more durable and resistant to damage from bending.Real-World UsageSignal Quality:Users report significant improvements in signal quality and range compared to standard antennas. The high gain and dual-band capabilities make it suitable for various communication scenarios, from urban environments to remote outdoor locations.Durability and Build Quality:Opinions on durability are mixed. While the soft, flexible design contributes to its longevity by preventing breakage from bending, some users have noted that the antenna can be less durable under harsh conditions. However, for general use, it performs admirably.Ease of Use:The antenna is straightforward to attach and detach, thanks to the SMA-Female connector. Its foldable nature adds to the convenience, making it a practical upgrade for any compatible radio.ConclusionThe ABBREE SMA-Female Ham Radio Antenna is a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their radio's performance. Its high gain, dual-band capabilities, and flexible design make it a valuable addition to any radio setup. While there are some concerns about durability in extreme conditions, its overall performance and portability outweigh these minor drawbacks.For ham radio enthusiasts and professionals alike, this antenna offers a worthwhile upgrade, delivering improved signal quality and extended range.

I am a GMRS band user a/ Ham Radio operator / retired radiotelecommunications engineer with more than 4 decades RF experience in HF/VHF/UHF handhelds , mobile and base stations designs.At 70 cm ham band (440 MHz) , WSR from this antenna goes way up and has lower efficiency than other handheld stock antennae. There is a lot of misconception and worries about antenna WSR comments/reviews here. SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) It's a measure of transmitter RF power transfer from the radio to the antenna but NOT an antenna irradiation measure! You can get an ideal WSR 1:1 radio (full transmitter power transfer) connecting a dummy load resistor of 50 ohms ( 52 ohm ) but you will have absolutely 0.00!! radiowaves irradiation from that! So stop looking and worrying about the WSR from any antenna . Let say :if the WSR is below 3.5 (30% reflected power) the handheld radio antenna is good .All handhelds transmitters are designed to withstand at least 6.0:1 SWR (same cases 10:1) before the RF power transistors/ antenna switching diodes burn out due to internal temp. hot spots .With the same wsr ratio , let say 1.5..the longer antenna means more signal irradiation and at the receiving location!!!..And also it is better a longer antenna with reasonable SWR than a stock antenna with 1:1 ratio . I already tested this tactical antenna with Baofeng V-1 GMRS radio and using a basic signal strength analog meter got 70% more signal at 10 ft from the antenna than the Baofeng stock antenna. Did the same test at the UHF ham band (440 MHz) with another Baofeng uv-82 and got mediocre results.An additional benefit to me is that I can carry the my radio as a fishing rod due to the long isolated and rugged antenna base mount.My conclusion: Will use it at GMRS not at Ham bands

Funciona muy bien!
