Review: Good for indoor use. - They work well for my use. I wouldn't use them on a vehicle because the magnet isn't very strong. I put them on the top of the refrigerators for better indoor reception with my handhelds.
Review: Weak magnet, but decent antenna - As other reviews have pointed out, the magnet is very weak. It will not last long on the roof of your car. I was able to get up to about 70mph before I heard a clunk and it started rattling around. I was doing a test, so I was prepared to pull over and take it off, but I would not count on it for any sort of mobile unit. That said, from an RF perspective, it's not bad. I was able to get 1:1.5 VSWR or lower on the ham bands through GMRS (about 440 to 470MHz). It even has a notch around the 2 meter band, maybe 1:1.7 or .8, but still usable. It really depends on the ground plane. Go to the dollar store and buy yourself a couple of baking sheets or pie tins, stick this on there, and put it on the top shelf of your closet or somewhere high up. You'd have a perfectly serviceable antenna if you live in an apartment or something. Look, you're not going to talk to the moon with this antenna, and you don't want it on your car, but if you're looking for a cheap antenna to play with at home, maybe you're just starting out with radios, there's nothing wrong with trying this one out for the price point. Get a better antenna later on, but if you're expectations are right, it's really not that bad. But seriously, go to Dollar Tree and buy a pie tin. That's all you need to make this work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well with good SWR.
*by I***S on March 24, 2022*

The first thing I did was hook it up to an antenna analyzer. I was pleasantly surprised at the bandwidth and SWR. Well within specs. This is NOT designed for permanent use and the mag mount won't hold up beyond 65 mph. I learned that the hard way ha ha. I did not test for power loss as it uses RG174 and power loss is to be expected. Works fine for me with a cheap HT, but will likely not hold up to much abuse. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Bonus, you get two of them for the price. Good value.
