I was told this antenna would NOT work with 5R+. Any input?

I have a UV-5Ra, not sure if that's the same as 5R+, it works fine, not in a vehicle though, better off with the rubber duck in a vehicle or an external mag mount. In the open, the EP 14.5 works just fine, no real gain to speak of over the duck but a much more lower angle of radiation when held vertically thus further line of sight communications I made some crude relative field strength tests between the stock rubber duck and the EP 14.5, at twenty feet there was only like one db gain over the rubber duck, at one mile the EP 14.5 was still full quieting while the rubber duck was quite hissy, this was through an acre or so of trees and hilly terrain .... buy it you'll like it !

As far as frequency coverage, the expert power antenna is superior to the stock antenna that comes with the radio. I use this antenna with my UV-5R and I'm very happy with its performance. As long as your 5R+ has the same SMA male antenna jack as my UV-5R, you're good to go. Here is a link to SWR contours of the expert power 14.5 and the stock antenna. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B008Y2SPE4/ref=cm_cr_dp_cust_img_see_all_txt I hope that helps.

I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Make sure your antenna is up. Be sure both are set to the same channel and make sure you are within range. Best wishes. I hope it works for you because I absolutely love mine. It none of the above suggestions work maybe it's defective. Return it and request another one. It's worth it but sorry about your troubles.

I'm not sure but I would lean towards yes. I would add that it works great. Where my system is set up the best reception I can get with others is 3 bars. With this one I get almost a constant 5 and if it's not 5 it only ever drops to 4.

Don't know for that particular model but works with the Baofeng 5R Plus. Works great. I haven't checked it with a SWR meter, but when I replaced the antenna that came with it, with this one, it did increase range on the 2m band.

A 50 ohm antenna will not work with 75 ohm RG 6 cable. I had the same problem and had to return 50 ohm antenna for a 75 ohm antenna.

Yes I used all 4 antennas I always use my equipment to it's best. I tried relocating the receiver, changing batteries, replacing two of the antennas.

Yes I have a VHF antenna and UHF and combine them. If it is a UHF/VHF combo + another UHF/VHF combos idk. Should work fine though, can't see it not. Pretty simple device.

I have a UV-5R and it didn't work. Case would not fit into body of radio. I had several e-mails back and forth with the seller. Solution they gave me didn't make sense, had the feeling English was a second lanuage for them.

Hi, Please refer to ASIN B006JVUAMM for the compatible antenna. Thanks, PCrush

Scott: I ran into an issue with my 5510L... had to trade it in on an older model which actually turned out to be better made. It is the 4620L... and the antenna works great with this. Good luck!!!! John

Never had any problems of any kind, FYI. Be certain your antenna is properly matched and all connections are tight.

For transmitting (TX) - NO WAY, you will have a SWR that will burn the finals out in the non-CB radios.For receiving (RX) on the other bands - just about any antenna will work to -some- degree; the closer the band the antenna was designed for (in this case the 11 meter / 27 MHz band), the better.

I would need to know more about the problem to answer this question. Did you install the correct drivers for the antenna? Make sure you have the latest updated drivers. http://www.ccrane.com/c/drivers/super3-antenna-software.zip

Hi Marc,Unfortunately I was scammed with this product as many others have, and although I made multiple comments on the subject, Amazon continues to permit these sellers to sell a product that will not work with the UV5R at all since it is not compatible. So, do not purchase this item, it will not work with your radio. Thanks.

Depending what is your frequence ,if it is 5ghz you could but if your area is 2.5 ghz it Will not work you have to buy the antenna with 2.5 ghz,

Verify the antenna connections, it may need adapters, otherwise it's universal. The iSimple website can help.

Possibly, usually the SWR meter doesn't distinguish between (doesn't care about) antenna types, it only provides information based on the antenna you're attached to, the length of your coax or feed, your frequency, and power. Look up the manufacturer website and check to see if your meter covers the 2M/70CM range. This antenna is 'cut' to the rough center of those bands.
