- Will it fit my BaoFeng UV-5R?
- Yes, it uses the SMA connector the UV-5R and UV-82 use. Check whether your radio is SMA male or female, since some Kenwood and other models need an adapter.
- Does it really reach 80 miles?
- Treat 80 miles as a best-case figure. Real range depends on terrain, power and the band; most users see a solid improvement over the stock antenna rather than a fixed distance.
- Should I extend it fully?
- Extend it for the band you use. The antenna is matched best around 140-150 MHz and 420-450 MHz, so adjust length to tune reception.
- Is it better than the stock antenna?
- For most handheld users, yes on range and receive. The cost is length and weight on a small radio.
- What radios does it work with?
- BaoFeng UV-5R and UV-82, BTECH and Kenwood handhelds with a matching SMA connector. It covers VHF 136-174 MHz and UHF 400-520 MHz.
