tuneable
I'm pretty much a newbie, but with an SWR measurement from my nanoVNA, I could tune a 2:1 down to 1.3:1 SWR across most of the 2 meter band by simply sliding the top section and some of the second one down. So by simply knowing where to adjust the telescoping sections, it appears these outperform my signal stick and abbree tactical by a long shot in terms of SWR. I'm sure it's a similar story with 70 cm. Positive it could be tuned even more accurately. Did not expect to be impressed with these things, but I am. Nice sleeper style antennas.

Surprisingly durable
I got this to upgrade from the stock antenna. It is an improvement, however getting the best length for the band you are working takes some practice. I have to change the length depending on VHF band or UHF bands. It is well made and sturdier than I anticipated.

Awesome performance, especially for the price
I bought this to try out on a couple of UV-5R's. Simply swapping to this toom care of my TX/RX issues from in-building to in-building and increased the outdoor range (in-town) by about a mile. Best $13 upgrade I've ever made.

You definitely want this antenna
The instant I installed this antenna on my handheld radio I immediately heard a big improvement. Voices were more clear, and the volume went up a notch. Highly recommended.

Not better than original?
I'm not sure why it isn't better, but if I'm connected to a repeater several miles away with the original antennae and listen to a conversation and then swap the antenna for this one, it sounds the same. It's the same level of static on the connection. Neither does a clear signal, so I'm surprised I didn't hear at least some improvement with this longer one.

Good reception
Good reception and works as advertised. Only downside is this product is made of the same material as a boombox antenna. Just be careful when the antenna is extended and everything works great.
