Tri-Band Antenna for Baofeng UV-17R Pro GPS

[back4more70]

Any recommendations for a tri-band antenna that you have used on an HT?  I have a Baofeng UV-17R Pro GPS and just discovered it will transmit on 1.25m (as well as 2m and 70cm).  The original is the standard male SMA to female connection dual band antenna.

Here is a tri band 2m.1.25m/70cm Nagoya antenna. https://www.amazon.com/Nagoya-NA-320A-2M-1-25M-70CM-144-220-440Mhz-BTECH/dp/B01K10B9XK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tri%2Bband%2Bantenna&qid=1700346610&sr=8-1&th=1

I had to think about it for a minute, but I have that antenna and have used it on all 3 bands with a UV5X3 with success.  On top of a 14 story building I was able to hit a repeater 23 miles away very clearly. 

It's a bit long and unwieldy, but that is a trade off for all 3 bands.  I only use it when I know I am going to use 1.25m

Thank you, I am considering the mentioned Nagoya NA-320A, and I also saw the Diamond Antenna Tri-Band HT SRH320A for over twice the price but about 4 inches shorter.  I would need an adapter, which is no big deal.  I will have to decide how much I want to sink into this purchase.

Funny that you should mention the SRH320A ... I use it on my Kenwood TH6A.

I want to say I have the same one for my 2m/1.25m wouxun...have to double check in a few.

I have one for my Kenwood TH-D74A tri-band radio.

I have no experiences with the Comet or Diamond tri band antennas so I won't be much help there. I have been very happy with the Nagoya 771 and 771G antennas on my Baofeng GT-5R dual band and UV-5R GMRS HT's. I doubt that you will go wrong with either antenna.

Clearly you have chosen good stuff that people are having success with.

I too have the SRH320 on my D74

Triband antenna I use for my kenwood thd72 and thd74 radios is the smiley triband antenna. It works well for my area.
