BAOFENG UV-3R DUAL BAND VHF / UHF HAND HELD ANTENNA TEST

This video is of a Baofeng uv-3r being tested with 2 after market antennas. The antennas are a Diamond SRH-805S and a Nagoya NA-666.
The radio was supplied with two antennas one for VHF and the other for UHF which work very well.
The reason why i am trying the two new antennas is that i want a small dual band "stubby" type antenna for compactness and another which is a dual band antenna which will avoid the need for constantly swapping the antennas everytime i want to use to either VHF or UHF!
Overall the Nagoya NA-666 works a lot better then the Diamond SRH-805S and the standard antenna on RX and this has been confirmed also with my local VHF / UHF repeaters.

@LottsaLasagna ?????? Don't spend money on one and you won't have to listen to sod all!

[LottsaLasagna]

@2e1dxy I own many for communicating ..I can just turn on the local radio if i want to here trash.

@LottsaLasagna I communicate on mine too and listen to the broadcast bands when there is something interesting on. It's a useful feature as i can listen to my local football team when they are playing! Why take out two radios when the Baofeng does it all?

рация зарекомендовала себя и в России! Не плохо иметь такую в покатушках, с hands free....

hi! how long does the battery last on a full charge? Would I need a couple of spares if i went camping? thanks good video btw

@coopercraft Please, keep me informed as well! I am wondering how two watts fare with an external antenna on both base, and Mobile operation. Thank you! Sweat equity is well worth any efforts for doing anything, in my opinion! As long as it works, there is satisfaction! Please keep in touch. Shawn.
