Review for model:

The antenna is very long, that's a fact, but it significantly increases the range on the Baofeng, and the price matches the product. I also own a shorter tape antenna, but this one is much better.

Very handy, resistant to various types of bending or snagging, whether in the forest or in a building. The ideal component for upgrading a radio and increasing its range. Useful for both radio amateurs and professional users.

Good signal boost, fits the UV-5R model perfectly. Plus, it's packed in a neat case, which makes it very easy to carry and swap antennas when needed.

Big, that's a fact, but the signal boost is noticeable, I personally recommend it.

After screwing it into the radio, a gap is visible between the antenna casing and the device. For a stationary radio, it's worth having a long one for the field. Unless you fold it in three, but it is still long. It's a tradeoff—signal boost is noticeable. I recommend it.

For a stationary radio, it is too big for use in the field.

In person, it is a bit too big.

The antenna works. After screwing it into the radio, there is no gap between the antenna casing and the device as I read somewhere online. I recommend the product.

It differs from what you see in the photo, but I still recommend it because it significantly increases the range. I recommend buying it!

Definitely increases the radio’s range, and the ability to bend the antenna helps adapt it to usage conditions.

It works well, allows you to catch more radio stations that the default antenna on the UV5r couldn't pick up, and it doesn't catch strange squeals, which allows for better scanning. Only once when unscrewing it, the cover of the antenna came off, leaving the insides exposed, but after pressing it back harder, everything went back to normal.

It works! And surprisingly well.

Product matches the description, I recommend it.

It may improve range, but it is really long.
