Antenna Performance
Customers have mixed opinions on the antenna performance of this product, with some reporting significant improvement over previous antennas and others expressing skepticism about the advertised gain numbers. Some users have seen increased witness counts while others question the feasibility of the claimed 80-degree beam width for an 8dbi antenna.
Highlights
Quality
I have confidence in the quality now after being able to test them.
The mounting bracket is fine and the included rp-sma to sma adapter came in handy to test the antenna.
High dbi is good when you have the antenna up high so the signal doesn't get blocked.
I bought this intending on using it for voice communications on the ham 33cm band and the unlicensed freq.
Price
Whether or not it really is an 8dbi antenna, for $20 it's a great deal.

Shipping
Took a couple weeks to get here as it shipped from china.
The shipping is fast, from china to my door took 11 days.
Packaging/appearance
To fit the narrow 4" packaging, the 1 meter cable was folded a bit too tight for the stiff lmr400 coax, but it survived unfolding it.
Competitiveness
Also the cable provided in this set is wayyyyy better than the regular coax most sellers are pushing.
I haven't measured the gain, not sure how to do that yet, and haven't used it long enough to compare the performance against my 2.
I use them for both helium 915mhz, and for my 773-850mhz public safety scanners.
