Good addition to your handhelds that use SMA connectors, they are so inexpensive you can buy a half dozen. On the off chance you have one of these fail or never quite right, you'll have extras. I have had one bad brand new but no big deal, its not going to break the bank and they are a little long so they get bent over allot while using a handheld. So be prepared to replace one if you really use handhelds allot and with any handheld flexible antenna you should always have extras no matter what the brand. I've even used one with a magnetic base on my not so new pickup (but it was new to me) while I was fabricating mounting for my Yeasu mobile and antenna brackets and just used a Baofeng UV-5RTP with that magnetic as a backup. I got some great performance from the ground plane of the roof of the truck's extended cab. Be creative and have fun, keep it in your emergency A bag.Read full review

Yes, the transmission distance is longer but not as long when comparing length of standard antenna vs this beast :) not that convenient. But sure, if distance is really crucial go for this antenna. Build quality seems good and stand some bending within "normal limits"

Increases range of UV-5R by about 50% over stock antenna, looks durable and seems well built. Increases capture area due to longer length. Does tend to over balance radio, so care must be taken to support radio so it doesn't fall over. Very flexible with no "curve memory". Good buy to upgrade radio.
