  1. Excellent. review by Chuck on 12/16/2023
    Rating

    For what it's meant to do - give good ham radio communication at a reasonable range - it is outstanding! Transmitting, it hits repeaters well at 20 miles, even amid rolling terrain in a suburban setting. It receives well at even a bit greater distances, again without too much interference at play. Really, a fine mobile antenna in most circumstances. Highly recommended!!

  4. Three and counting review by KE0GAW on 1/30/2021

    I now have three of these antennas. Two mobile units and one attic mount on 2'x3' piece of steel. They work great! Just today I was using a mobile and brought up a repeater with a 4w HT and the Ham I was communicating with couldn't believe the reach i had. Excellent buy and excellent service.

    I put the Tram 1185 in the center of the steel bed of my pick up truck, opened the tail gate and pointed it toward 2 repeaters over 20 miles away. Attached it to my Baofeng HT and had a 5/9 (excellent) signal report.

  12. True Old Saying, "An Antenna is 90% of a Radio." review by Moto Greg on 4/24/2017
    Rating

    I use this antenna with a Baofeng UV-82c on a motorcycle while working bicycle races. The radio alone up by the windshield did not work well either on a shoulder mic or the Sena 10S Bluetooth connected by a Sena SR-10 Two-way radio adapter. The range was poor with static. However when I hooked up this antenna on my metal rear trunk using an SMA to female UHF adapter all that changed. Now I have the radio that everyone can hear clearly with the best range too. Proving once again that 90% of a two way radio is the best antenna properly mounted.

  13. Limited usage. review by Len on 9/8/2016

    The antenna is just not very useful because it lacks range.

  14. Good short mag mount antenna review by Hal on 8/18/2016
    Rating

    We took a Dremel tool to this, cut a bit off the end (not sure exact amount, ~1in), and tuned the antenna up into the VHF commercial band. Buddy used an SMA-SO239 adapter and hook this to a Baofeng UV82. Gave us about 5 miles (non los) and held well. Shame it is only unity on VHF as that is the band he primarily wanted. Holds well and performs adequate. Would work well for a visitor on a farm or a radio on the combine for farm use if tuned correctly. Otherwise small HT-HT use for ham radio would be excellent.

    Decent antenna. can be trimmed for better swr reading. good magnet with a foil backing can get the swrs down to 1.2 or 1.1 to 1 if you work at it.

  17. Tram 1185 Amateur Dual-Band Magnet Antenna review by Old Farmer Lady on 4/6/2016
    Rating

    Plugged it right into my Leixen VV-898 Dual Band FM Transceiver and picked up transmissions from several repeaters in my area. Currently, I am using it in doors until I can by an Arrow J-pole and permanently mount it outside. With this antenna I can use it in my vehicle and remove it easily when my trip is over.

  23. Works great with my HT in my truck! review by RETiredGM1 on 12/23/2014
    Rating

    After doing a fair amount of research, the Tram 1185 was my best choice for a vehicle mounted antenna. I attached it to the middle of my Chevy Suburban roof, wrapped the cable around the roof rack, and ran it down thru the sun roof. I then wrapped the excess cable around my sun visor and then attached the connector to my HT. I clipped the HT to my visor so it stays out of the way. Easypeezee! The RX/TX of the HT with this antenna works really well even though the antenna isn't really long. I'm completely satisfied with the build quality, price, and rx/tx clarity my 5w HT!

  24. Great Antenna review by Page7x on 11/27/2014

    I am a Ham Radio operator and use one inside the house on a cookie sheet) and am able to hit several repeaters using low power. I actually purchased another for the car and am getting ready to purchase a third for my wife.

  25. Great for the Price! review by The Joe on 5/12/2014

    You really can't go wrong with this antenna at the price. It works great with a HT, it also handled 75 watts from my mobile unit.
