Pros & Cons
Pros
They work well folded or at least receive well. Attached to my plate carrier.
Highlights
Quality
The rubber coating over a steel tape makes a great product
This antenna makes a huge improvement over the basic antenna included with a new radio.
The addition of this antenna to my handheld radio boosted the performance and range by at least 50%, or more.
This one is like having a base station antenna!
Packaging/appearance
I will have to try with it folded to see how the reception is also!
Competitiveness
If there was a cheap, and easily reliable american equivalent i’d say go that way but i haven’t found it.
