0 WRCZ387 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Got the e-mail notification,I just placed my order I've been happy with the 771G so far, getting more so each h-t has one They're now offering BNC & SMA-M connector models also I'm hoping that the NA-701G comes back in soon, I'd like to try one of those I ordered one of the NA-701C (commercial tuning) from myGMRS to test out in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 davidrayt Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I will wait for the 701G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 enidpd804 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I will wait for the 701G. Is that because it's compact? I have a 771G and it definitely outperform the stock Wouxan but dang, it's unwieldy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MacJack Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have not tried the https://www.buytwowayradios.com/nagoya-na-701g.html which is a 6.1 inch antenna... I have been using the Authentic Nagoya NA-771G Handheld GMRS Antenna (15.3 Inch) https://www.buytwowayradios.com/nagoya-na-771g.html on 3 of my GMRS radios and it like having a 20-30 watt radio in my Jeep with a KG-805G HT radio.. I get 30 miles to the repeater... Try it and test it and if you do not like it return it... Jack Is that because it's compact? I have a 771G and it definitely outperform the stock Wouxan but dang, it's unwieldy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SkylinesSuck Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I wonder how much of a difference they is between the 771g and 771 in performance. I've got the 771 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mbrun Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I must tell you all that while you may get a tad more range (perhaps 5% or so in my case) when using the longer antenna, I have found the added length to be more of an annoyance than real benefit. So I have reverted back to use of the stock antenna and the shorter 701. In my everyday carry use of my radios I found that the extra inches if range distance mattered so little in practice that the hassle of the longer antenna was not warranted. I will certainly keep it in my tool box, and I will use it on special occasions, but its days of everyday carry use are over.

0 DMc Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Has anyone tried the NA-701C. I am looking for a good GMRS antenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 OldRadioGuy Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I have the 771 and it's a good antenna but, as people have said, it's a bit in the way. I also have the Smiley Super Stick 465MHz.https://www.smileyantenna.com/product-p/46510.htm It can be used fully collapsed or fully extended for better gain.Fully extended it's comparable to the 771 and works very well.Fully collapsed it's more like a compact rubber duck. I use it fully collapsed and only extend it when the signal gets weak .I think it's a pretty good way to go. BTW, you can convert your radio and your favorite antennas to BNC for quick changing if you like.I do this on my Ham 2M/440MHz rig.

0 OldRadioGuy Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 BTW, the Smiley antenna description is incorrect on length.Collapsed it is 5" and fully extended 17" I think that description might be from their 2M version of that antenna.
