What type of Mobile ANTENNA would be best for this Dual Band radio that covers 108-180 MHz AIR BAND also?

This equipment is mostly for Ham radio so a good diamond dual band antenna would be best. There is not really a good comprise for ham and other bands. One would be great while the other band would be a a rather poor performer.

I never been on 440 until I bought my Baofeng radio. I used the dual band antenna I bought, and the magmount dual band. Both work great, able to get into a 440 machine over the 20-30 mile trip, into the machine. Not sure if this is the mag mount your asking about, or the other antenna. The other antenna works better then the original antenna that came with it.

I would recommend the Kaito KA-33 indoor shortwave active loop from CCrane Co. There are many outdoor antennas available including do-it-yourself projects but lightning arrestors and proper gronding come into play.

for that I recommend the one with the two antennas that gives you more power and signal coverage, if no great distance that is perfect as integrated antenna! regards

If you are a ham and are using it on 2 and 70 cm bands, it might be good to invest in a reasonable dual band antenna. I picked up a Nagoya NA-771. Seems to work fine but ... since the Baofeng has no real signal strength meter, you can only get qualitative data. The only problem with the Nagoya antenna is that it is a bit long and bothersome if you are planning to be very mobile, that is carrying the radio around. If you want to use the radio in bands other than 2 meter and 70 cm, then the stock antenna might be as good as anything.

A good replacement for belt use is the Baofeng brand dual band antenna with SMA-F connector from Amazon for $5.98 is a good deal.

broad coverage .5-1300Mhz, best 100-900Mhz. VERY good reception...had one in Illinois & bought 2nd one as moved to Florida. Started with antenna inside near window on high shelf in metal trailor home. Now up just 10 feet outside in yard with 100 feet coax, as other options shot down by trailor park management. Best scanner antenna you can find, unless you spend a lot more $$$...just try to put as high as possible...smaller type antenna not noticeable outside. A BEST BUY IN SCANNER ANTENNA. VERY PLEASED HERE ! I USE MOSTLY IN 400 or 800 ranges.

Sure. I use a mobile antenna for my 2 meter base station, though I will set it on the air conditioner unit outside for a good ground.

High Gain Digital TV Aerial - Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital Antenna for USB TV Tuner / ATSC Television / DAB Radio - With Magnetic Base This one was better just do not stand in front of it or block it and it was under $10 And although it may say no signal change the channel or move in direction of any window, worked great!

I use one for FM USB 10-15 meters with an external auto tuner (LDG 100ProII) and have talked round the world. Limited results on 17 meters below that you are out of luck. If you need something simple for 10-20 meter antenna take a look at the Hy-Gain 12AVQ if you want to work even lower bands than 20 check out the Hustler BTV series of antennas. www.eham.com is a great shopping tool for reviews because they are not a retail sales site. You would need to look at HF Verticals and Wire category.

I personally use the NAGOYA NA 771 Antenna bibanda 144/430 MHz with gain of 2.15 - 3.0 dBi With a length of 38 cm, is flexible and versatile for outdoor if you cut a little lower dome to the ceiling of the female connector sma conexiona best co sma male connector of walky, there is another brand that is Super Antenna 145/435MHZ SG 7900, 158cm, 5.0dbi (144MHz) and 7.6dbi (430MHz), I have not tested this but I've heard good reviews against it is that is telescopic and too rigid for my liking, I hope that works for the explanation, a greeting

At Radio Shack, for about $12-$13, I bought a wire antenna,and an adaptor to connect it to the back of the radio. You have to "fool" with it to get it in the right location, but it tremendously improves reception.
