Product Review Nagoya NA 771R
Dual Band VHF / UHF
Retractable
Antenna - SMA Female John 'Miklor' K3NXU
What's in the Package
The Nagoya 771R is a new addition to the Nagoya family
of antennas. This 15" retractable antenna is the cousin
to the ever popular NA-771. It comes with a small
rubber spacer should your radio require one for a snug
fit.
Over-the-Air Tests
The OTA tests were made was between the stock A-V85 antenna
found on many VHF/UHF handhelds. The difference was
immediately noticeable. This is to be expected
from an antenna that relies on being nearly a full
quarter wavelength long.
Side by side performance with the NA-771R and NA-771 was
identical.
Keep in mind that although the antenna is retractable,
it will still receive fairly well while retracted, but
when transmitting, the antenna must be extended to it's
full length. If not, the mismatch could cause
damage to the transmitter.
