Pleasantly surprised
I purchased this antenna based on the other reviews but because of the low price still had some reservations about it.This antenna gave me a SWR of 1.6 at 467 mhz and 1.2 on the lower end at 462 mhz. I have to say it performs extremely well. All feedback I have received report a strong and clear signal. Im using a 45 watt Kenwood and easily reaching repeaters 30+ miles away (mounting height is 35’ / elevation 690’). The antenna appears to be solidly made and built for longevity. Very pleased and recommend for GMRS.

Please just get the bundle with ground plane kit
I can't speak to the range on this antenna. I picked it up to use as a backup or "attic antenna" for my small GMRS repeater during lightning storms. I plan to switch to this antenna during lightning to help prevent my repeater from taking a lightning strike.I didn't get the ground plane kit at first, but SWR left a lot to be desired. 2-ish. Go ahead and just buy the bundle with the ground plane kit. It's worth it.

Good Value and Easy Install
I used a 2ft section of PVC pipe to mount this too, and then two 10ft long fence top rails, with sleeves and thru-bolts at the joints. 50ft of LMR400-class coax cable (Wilson 400) brings it down to inside where I use it with a 10W handheld & speaker mic combo. Reception is good and I have no problem hitting a GMRS repeater that's just under 15 miles away, over the hilly Southwestern PA terrain.

Seems to work well
I was going to make a mobile setup for this but decided to keep it at base. It's mounted on a standoff about 15ft up a mast in my yard, and used for GMRS. I'm hearing lots more, and am able to hit previously unheard repeaters. I may have to get another for it's original use.

Here is the SWR and the Cable I used
I hold a Ham and GMRS license, I have been building antennas for over 18 years.I purchased this antenna , I did not need the counterpoise.Ok, SWR, Channel 1 : 1.23 SWR and on Channel 30: 1.40 there is your spread.I am running 20 feet of rg8x to a lightning surge protector, then 20 feet of LMR 400 that connects to the antenna. total of 40 feet.I do recommend this antenna. I will say I believe this antenna uses the coax as a counterpoi

Good SWR
I put it up on a ten foot pole and connected a handheld gmrs radio. SWR measured 1.01 on 467.xxx and 1.21 on 462.xxx.
