Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This antenna is well designed. It looks and performs well. Makes the radios look really compact! They work as good or better than the diamond or comment versions.

Cons

The performance in reception is the same as a paperclip. The coil metal used is much thicker and sturdier on the nagoya.

    Works good in the factory i work in picks up better then the stock antenna on fm but the soft rubber keeps sliding off even on the first day of use

    Yes there is a sacrifice that has to be made when you use a shorter antenna and i knew it before i made this purchase

    However as long as you are not transmitting near a solid object youll be fine
