Come by your channel looking at stubby antenna's (I had to recheck my hearing on your callsign I thought you tx mine 2E0IKJ at first) Looking for my Yaesu vx 7r. Seems a Bit of a minefield for the stubbys. Think I’m going for the Diamond RH-3 swr 1.2 on 2m & 1.8 on 70cm albeit compromised but want it for close quarters. To many fakes for these Diamond SRH805S with 3 to 6 swr’s… Thanks for the video & subbed 👍
These are definitely fake. I've owned a few. They work but they don't last as the biggest issue is the quality. The price here in the states is about $7. Great demo. 73
These are predominantly fake, Diamond do not make a female SMA version of this antenna they only produce a male SMA (SRH-805). I have both the original Diamond which is around £22 from a reputable seller and this is good with low SWR on both bands - But these fake ones are terrible on VHF, semi OK on UHF. These fake ones cost anywhere between £2 to £10 on Amazon / eBay, but I do use a fake one for a local personal hotspot on low power, that's all they are good for really... I can open a UHF repeaters some distance away but must be terribly scratchy / noisy signals. Stick it on the Analyser Jez you will see.

Ok I’ll check it on my analyser and see how it goes
I've got bigger antenna adapters :-)
