Thread Issue
Review by
Dave
Overall, I think this is a very good antenna. It extends and retracts nicely! I would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the threads. They were coated heavily and required a wrench to put on (not good for portability). Fortunately I had a 3/8 24 die and was able to clean the threads up. After that, the antenna threaded on with ease. Hopefully the mfg realizes the issue and makes some adjustments

Works great, pretty strong, but it is rusting pretty good after 6 weeks of use

Problems with Threads
Review by

I bought two of these antennas. The top sections (as advertised) are much more robust than other brands. They are also easier to extend and collapse, which may be a problem after a lot of use. Time will tell.
When I attempted to screw them in my Chameleon Hub, they would not go. The problem is the threads are covered with chrome plating. Fortunately I have a 3/8-24 die and was able to chase the threads and remove the chrome. Problem solved.
Other than the threads issue the antenna seems okay for a made in China product.

THIS ANTENNA RECEIVES ON 20M BETTER THAN MY DIPOLE IN THE TREES! I love it :)
I have not tested the TX on this, but I know it will work.
I surely recommend this to ham's who need quick setups in the yard, field, or park.
