Excellent Product! Wonderful reception! Very fast shipping!

I have many TD-H3 GMRS radios and wanted to try some different antennas. The OEM antenna works but is lacking. The Smiley antenna is a short antenna, about 4 inches. They spec it as a 5/8th wave which usually means it'll work in conditions with trees and buildings better than a 1/4 wave would.I have 3 different antennas I use on the regular. The OEM, the Smiley and the Nagoya 771G. The OEM is about 7.25" and works OK. You can't expect much of an antenna to come with a $35 radio. I get about .9 miles when I use my small repeater with a mobile setup which is low to the ground and in a very cluttered environment.The Nagoya 771G antenna is 15" tall so it's very long. It's not convenient for carrying the radio with you because of it's length. But it goes even farther than the Smiley. I was able to get 1.8 miles and it still hadn't quit but I didn't go farther. It wasn't going to go much more anyway.The Smiley in the same conditions gets out to 1.5 miles where it quits abruptly. It's a very convenient antenna because it's small and has a decent range.So the best of each world of small size and distance would go to the Smiley. If you need the distance you have to take what you can get with convenience or not. So that would be the 771G. It out distances the most all antennas out there.

I have now purchased 5 of these, they are paired to GMRS radios and I have had no issues with them. From a 8w HT I am able to hit a repeater approx. 25 miles away. I am on higher ground and within good line of sight of the repeater. If your looking for a budget friendly GMRS antenna this is the way to go.

The stock antenna on the Tidradio TD-H3 really isn’t terrible for a stock antenna on a budget radio but it didn’t stop me from wanting to experiment with other options. This 701G seemed like a good option to try based on its size and reputation. I tamed my expectations as antenna performance can vary quite a bit between radios and environments but I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance in an urban environment for such a small 1/4 wave. Swapping back and forth between the 701G and the stock antenna, I am currently getting better reception and better reach to repeaters in the area. There is also the benefit that the 701G is extremely flexible and more comfortable to carry if having the radio on your hip. The small form factor of the antenna also matches well with a radio as small as the TD-H3. I’m sure I could get even better performance with the larger 771G but an antenna that long just really isn’t practical for a lot of every day use. It was definitely worth the cost of the upgrade.

Installed these on a set of Wouxun KG-UV86 of 2M / HAM radios. Used GMRS frequencies and immediately notified a massive increase in clarity and range.

I've tried what seems like a ridiculous number of antennas on my handhelds and for GMRS purposes, the Nagoya NA-701C is my favorite. Even being a shorter antenna, you can tell it is tuned properly as with this antenna installed I can hit a repeater that's 14 air miles away that I couldnt reliably hit before, even when lying in bed. Previously the best results I had was with the 15.3" GMRS antenna from Abbree. I can also talk simplex with a friend just over 2 miles away in a hilly suburban area. I could only do that before if I was upstairs near a window. So, while I dont have expensive equipment to give a "scientific" analysis, the antenna's performance speaks for itself. If yuu need a great shorter GMRS antenna, buy one, you wont regret it.
