Review: Good performance - I’m really impressed with this radio antenna! Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid and durable. It greatly improved the signal strength on my radio, providing clearer reception and better overall performance. The antenna is compact yet powerful. I’ve noticed a significant increase in range and sound quality compared to the antenna i had. I highly recommend giving this antenna a try!
Review: Great Browning Antenna - I purchased this little antenna for my truck and I operate the 440 MHz ham band and also GMRS. The quality is outstanding, and it performs very well. The highest SWR is a 1.3 across the band right out of the package for me so I didn't even bother trimming the whip. It performs very well, and I can hit repeaters at least 20 miles away at times. I love the black color and how short it is too! I have it on a 3 inch mag mount right in the center of the roof on my 4 door pickup. Talk about an excellent ground plane! If you are thinking about buying this antenna don't hesitate. I know I am very pleased with Browning, and I always have been in the past with other Browning antennas I purchased.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great antenna.
*by G***C on June 21, 2025*

I don’t know much about GMRS radios and what makes a good antenna and what are the numbers people talk about but real world shade tree install and just messing around works great. With a 25 watt truck radio talking with a 5 watt portable had about a 2 mile range and that was with some hills and forest. With 2 25 watt radios was getting 5-6 miles. Also went from picking up 1 weather channel I can pick up 2 both about 30 miles away
