Quality

Magnet is very strong, picks up signals quite well.

Definitely increased performance on reception and transmission over rubber duck antenna.

For the gmrs frequencies in the 462 range, the antenna tested great and gave me a 1.

This antenna went from "meh, it sucks" to working great with the simple application of a 5-dollar steel cookie sheet.

It's a 1/3 of the price for the cheapest option at west marine.

This is an product for the money
