Is this compatible with UV-B6? and will this antenna perform better than the stock UV-B6 unit?

I have only used it on the UV5 but the radios are the same just upgraded so if that is the case as long as the antenna mount is the same it should work. hope this helps

I only have one data point, but the answer is yes. From my living room with my new B6, one of my normal repeaters could not be raised by the stock antenna, but this one worked.

Yes, it is compatible with the UV-B6 and it will perform better over the stock antenna. I have several of these and have given a few to club members and they all reported better receive and transmit after installing this antenna.

Only slightly better, but it is more flexible. The UV-5R Quallete and UV-B5/B6 already come with an antenna that is much better than the original UV-5R antenna.

I have used my Crane Super USB antenna for a bit over a year; absolutely NO complaints using the single antenna, with dual USB connections on a laptop. As I said, I do connect using the 15-foot extension cable; makes antenna placement much easier. I agree with the comment below regards two antennas, but will readily admit that I'm NOT a techie; just a satisfied user. I put this product in the increasingly rare category of "works-as-advertised". Good luck with it, and post your results!

Ah, crap I'm too late and the answer is gone...um... so does it include it's own cable and what kind will I need? I'm looking at this "RG6 Premium Solid Copper Quad-shield Coaxial Cable" does anyone know if that's the right kind for this antenna?

Do yourself a big favor and visit the newertech website, and contact them. The thing worked great up until I upgraded to 10.9.5 and it was that very moment I needed a patch for the antenna to work. They sent a patch to me via email. They may have all patches on their site now. Either way, it's best to contact them before buying.

I have a uv-82 and bf-888s, the bf-888s has extended threads but the antenna comes with a rubber washer for that reason. I use this antenna on my uv-82 and noticed a better signal inside the truck with uhf business band compared to the stock antenna, not sure about vhf because I really don't use it; however, I do monitor murs and have picked up murs/business about 2-4 miles from warehouse that I believe is using murs/business channels which is good because they are inside a aluminum building. I also have a comet antenna that has sma-f and it does even better as far as signal on both transmit and receive. If you want a better solution to inside the car buy a magnet mount with a sma-f end... I think tram makes one but I can't comment on how they are because I don't have one.

I don't know. I have a Baofeng UV5R in mine w/an adapter cable. It works with or without the antenna on.
1205810
Yes, it will. I have the Baofeng UV-5R (Black) and it screws on just like the antenna that came with it.I also have the Wouxun KG-UVD1P and it mounts on it like the original antenna. I now keep this antenna on both radio's.I'm going the the Nation wide Field Day today and will have this antenna on because our location is several miles fromthe repeater. Very good antenna for the price.

Yes it will work. The antenna comes with adapters to suit your application.

This dual band 1.25m/2m radio is made for both USA and European markets and is actually a commercial transceiver that is type approved for amateur radio use. The Wouxun dual-band equivalent comes with two dual band antennas with different "220" MHz ranges for this reason. I never experienced any performance issues using the stock Baofeng 144/220 dual antenna with the the UV-82X so perhaps it's actually in range. You could purchase a Wouxun dual-band USA antenna if there is much of a concern.

these uvb5 & uvb6 radios are absolute crap.....I have had to throw away at least 3 of them. Total garbage..... if you are going to get a baofeng get the uv-82 or the original uv5r. As for antennas spend the extra money and get a comet or diamond from a RADIO retailer not here or ebay you will be wasting your money with all the no name knock off antennas here especially since most of them are for the business band not the ham band. FIY the stock antenna on the uv82 actually does pretty descent for a stock one.anyway good luck, mark KC9ZHR 73!

I never compared any models to this antenna. I did my research and this one came out on top. After I installed it, it proved my research correct.

It's hard for me to say since I live in a metropolitan area. I will say that it worked no better than my original Mohu Leaf antenna, so I returned it. Check out http://www.antennaweb.org, you type in your zip and it will give you information about what antenna may work best and which stations you should receive.

The 14.5" antenna works very well on the uv82. I have both and very happy with it.

A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume. The cheap Chinese cables will work as well , (suck as the ones found on amazon,) will work too. The issue with these is the drivers. If you buy one, (I own two,) you need do some research on line on how to install the driver. Once you get the driver installed for the cable the rest is simply programming the radio and writing the info. You also best to stay withthe uv-b5 series in my opinion, as the uv-5r series has several different firmware versions and that makes it a pain to use. The b5 writes very well. Inhave not used a uv-82. I hope this helped. YouTube also has some good videos that demonstrate how to install the proper driver.

Off the top of my head, I would say yes. I would download the parts manual from Winegard for the new antenna and your antenna and check the diagrams.

This is ideal if the new antenna has a BNC connector. That's exactly why I got this item.

No I am sorry but that will not work with your unit. This antenna is hooked up to a clearly marked area of your receiver which has two screws designated for this antenna. Sorry.
