Product ReviewsAuthentic Genuine NAGOYA Na320a Triband HT Antenna 2m125m70cm

May cause desense on some radios

The antenna appears well made and a convenient size for a tri-band antenna with some extra gain over the stock duck. Mine appeared to be authentic with extra graphics on the packaging and text on the antenna itself.
Unfortunately, the extra gain caused desense on the receiver. I observed this on 4 different Baofeng UV-5R models in different environments. This also happened when connecting other external antennas to these radios, so the antenna is not at fault. The desense was only observed when working weak signal simplex. Repeaters with there stronger signals seemed to be fine.
Transmitter performance seemed greatly improved on 2M but no gain improvement was noticed on 220 or 70cm over the standard duck. It should be noted that the standard duck is a single band antenna so maybe it’s designed better.
All in all I like the antenna and will keep it even though doesn’t work well on some of the HTs I own. Read full review...

Big disappointment

Purchased unit to use with BTECH UV-5X3. On all three bands, on air performance was poorer than the stock antennas furnished with the radio. 222 seemed to be the worst band. Repeaters accessible with the stock antennas could not reliably be accessed with the Nagoya. Tested antenna mounted on my AAI N2061 antenna analyzer. SWR at 2 and 440 was over 2:1, and much higher SWR at 222 MHz. Very disappointed by poor performance and cannot recommend this antenna. Unit seems well made - shame the performance was so poor.Read full review...

Perfect!

I was pleased to find this antenna, which is an exact match for my new radio. I was pleasantly surprised to find it professionally packaged with the specs plainly written on the plastic sleeve. What was even better was the price, which was about half of "other" products, which wouldn't have fit my radio anyhow. Shipping was fast, and I was amazed that it arrived on a Sunday. Such superior service deserves support from anyone who wants a single antenna that works on all three bands (144/220/440.)Read full review...

Good Antenna!

This antenna operates better than expected. I have used this brand before and have had good luck with them.

Well made and great performing antenna

I am pleased with the performance of this antenna. Able to hit a 220 repeater that is 85 miles line of sight with 5 watts from inside my home.

The antenna is well made, in Taiwan, NOT China. That speaks for the quality.

Wouldn’t work on my radio

I’m very disappointed because it has the proper connecter to fit my radio the SMA female, but it would not go onto my radio because there was an issue with the threads and the person that sold it to me refuses to send me another one without me incurring the cost

not enough range

A transmitter antenna needs about 4-5 dbi for a hand held walki talki. The max wattage a hand held transceiver is 5 watts on 98% of these radios. I have found 7watt radios and they need at least 10 watts output with this antenna. Other than that the only other was to get better range is by at least a 5 dbi gain on the antenna. The output would act like this: 7watts x 5dbi=35Watts. This kind of antenna would sell like hot cakes.Read full review...
