The Nagoya NA771 antenna is a dual band antenna for 70cm and 2m. Marketed as an upgrade over the stock “rubber duck” antennas that come with most hand held transceivers, Radio Oddities takes a look if it’s worth investing in one….
Good Video. Hate to tell you, but that looks like a fake Nagoya 771. Don't feel bad, I bought 3...(lol)...all 3 had decent SWR's reading though. I have heard of some duds ones that people have bought. It's a hit or miss with these knock off antennas rather you get a good one or not. When buying a real Nagoya, go with BTECH, authorized dealer. I have the Nagoya NA-771, NA-701 & NA-320a. All 'real' Nagoyas, great antennas for the price.. TIP: Nagoya antennas are more bullet looking at the base. No ridges. Plus if you look at the tip/end of the antenna, on the plastic rubber tip....Nagoya's name should be there.
