Better reception than stock.

I'm sure the area you're in really matters and the weather. I've had mine on for 6 weeks now and the radio is a lot clearer. Pulls in HD reception pretty easily. Plus it looks great. I get a chuckle every time someone looks at it.

Easy to install. Looks better that most outdoor units. Its presence is subtle. Reception is not perfect but has a decent range.

Good Antenna that works as advertised.  I found that this antenna improved reception on some of my radios but not all.  On a Grundig-750 which has a rotating AM antenna attached, there was no improvement.  Probably because the G-750 AM antenna works very well.  On a CCR-SW,  a Grundig YB-400, Crane DT-200 it improved the reception noticeably.  Given its low price and ease of use(no batteries or wires required), it is well worth getting if you need to improve AM reception.

I tested this antenna using a Midland MXT105. I then broadcast  to a Midland GXT1000 Handheld radio.  Comparing the stock antenna with this antenna there is a few things that stand out.

1. The Browning antenna provides a much clearer broadcast signal.  At about 4,930Ft away from the handheld I could still hear what was being said clearly.  When the antenna was switched to the stock antenna midland provides, the signal strength was the same, but there was more noise and interference. It was not impossible to discern but it required concentration.

2. The Browning antenna also receives a broadcast signal from another handheld better than Handheld to Handheld ( a no brainier, but still fascinating.)  The maximum range I was able to get with an MXT105 transmitting to a GXT1000 in a suburban environment was about 1.24 miles.  The GXT1000 radio was inside a house on the second floor and not outside, nor did it have clear line of sight.  I'm sure this would increase your range line of sight however.

Bottom line: If you don't mind having a 3 foot antenna on your vehicle, this will improve the clarity of GMRS communications.

I lose some reception but not much and improved the look a lot on my 02 f150, fits right in place with my cb antennas.

This antenna is very good for the price. It provides equal reception, if not better, to the stock antenna that came on the bike. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a replacement antenna at a decent price.

works great.
Image quality is much better comparing to regular antennas without booster.

I'm happy enough with my Resun Carbon Fiber TRD Sports Style Short Antenna For toyota All Model 4.7"
The reception is just as good as it was with the long antenna that came on my Toyota FJ Cruiser.
This is not a high quality antenna and my vehicle sits in the hot sun all day.
Therefore the antenna has lost most of  it's black color. The tip and part of the base area have both turned to a bronze color.
It doesn't bother me much, and it would be easy enough to paint black again if it did.
With the good reception and the better look of a short antenna, coupled with the low price you pay here on Amazon It's worth trying.

When I received the radio I was disappointed with the sound and reception. The ear phones were uncomfortable and kept falling out. I plugged in a set of Panasonic ear buds and the difference was remarkable. Excellent reception and much improved sound quality. The belt hook is small enough to fit in the zipper of my motorcycle jacket. I have no problem with receiving a strong signal from a distant radio station that I enjoy listening to when I  ride.

Great reception. Way more Channels than I expected to receive.  Super easy installation too.

A great replacement antenna to the stock Icom antennas. Being a stubby antenna, there is some loss in reception distance but with these, is very minimal. In our test's, we were a few hundred feet less than on the regular antenna from the repeater. Overall a great antenna and better these than the longer antennas when wearing on a belt. Doesn't cut into my side.

Works better than two other OTA amplified antennas did.

Better reception than I thought I would get. The amplifier makes all the difference. Highly recommend.

They work better than the stock antennas, but I was still getting interference and a snowy image when the quadcopter was not far away. I upgraded to a better set from a difference source and now have a perfect signal.

Works better than I expected. When I do listen to the radio I have had no problem with reception, but I do live in an urban area tho.
