Description
This Smiley Antenna Super Stick GMRS 465MHz & NOAA antenna will make your radio turn circles around the rest!
Has a telescoping 4.5–17.25″ radiating element and .5″ SMA-Female connector base (5–17.75″ assembled length). The super efficient synthetic-rubber dipped NT-MIL cover and flex coil matching network with 50 W power handling and 50 Ohm impedance insure durability, high performance, and wide compatibility. A great match for the exclusive line of BSR Wouxun GMRS radios!
This super efficient Omni-directional UHF antenna is usable in 2 positions: Fully extended as a 5/8 wave with 9 dBd of gain, or a true 1/4 wave with 6 dBd gain when fully collapsed.
Works with Wouxun, AnyTone, BTECH, TERA & most other radios with an SMA-Male antenna connector. A rubber washer is included for some radios with taller SMA threads, for stability. An additional rubber washer or #8 O-Ring (not included) is recommended for some radios to retain water-resistance (contact me if you would like to see an image of what that looks like).
The screw-on TA connector base is removable and can be swapped for an SMA-Male or BNC connector base (available separately) to use the antenna with other radios.
Includes a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, but this proven performer will last many years when handled with care. Works great as a UHF-High Police, Fire, EMS, S&R, LMR, Commercial, and Business scanner antenna, and does well on VHF also!

WOW!
I got one of these Smiley antennas, initially for the KG-UV9G PRO I’m in line to get one day. I tried it on my Baofeng UV-9G (with a gender bender) and that IS one highly tuned antenna. SWR was 1.01. The factory antenna was 1.72! Going to try your replaceable end bits [Smiley TA Base Connector] to get a cleaner install but wanted you to know that your words ring clear as a bell, it is indeed “Highly Tuned.” Liked it so much I went and got two more!
