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.

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.
