    Hello!
    It is worth buying an antenna for this radio. See for example Nagoya. The cost is not high 20-40 PLN. Radiokiller, how does your antenna perform when transmitting?

    My antenna has not been measured and I have not tried broadcasting either, I am not authorized to do so. Even on PMR, I will not talk to baofeng because there is no integrated antenna and the power is too high. PMR up to 0.5 W.
    And Nagoya for PLN 40 is probably a joke.

    It is a pity because I wonder if the tape radiators change something. The power should hold out :-)

    I didn't say Nagoya is awesome, but when it comes to buying it for that money, it's pretty cool.

    But you didn't care about how to broadcast, weren't you curious about it or just believed the rules governing the air, an atmosphere that is for all people.

    But it got poetic.
    The second reason why I do not transmit the self-made antenna is the inability to measure SWR. I do not want the final radio power stage to jump into oblivion.

    I did a few. It works correctly on both strands.

    Do you remember the thickness of the wire for the coil and radiator, because it does not follow from the description?

    The cost is low and a lot of fun.
    If you are interested, I will give you more information.


    wsm you can give how you made this trinket and how it works in relation to a regular antenna :)

    I don't know what you mean by "ordinary antenna" when it comes to stock UHF / VHF Baofeng, the yagi is primarily a directional antenna and Baofeng's cat tail is omnidirectional.

    In addition, quite a poor "kitty".

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting an antenna for the Baofeng UV-5R radio, with a budget of 200 PLN, aimed at enhancing range for listening to services like the fire brigade. Participants emphasize the importance of determining whether a mobile or stationary antenna is needed and the necessity of knowing the specific frequencies used by local services (VHF range of 148.5MHz to 149.5MHz). Recommendations include omnidirectional antennas for broader reception, with suggestions for models like the SIRIO GP-3e and Nagoya antennas. Users discuss the feasibility of using external antennas mounted on masts and the importance of quality coaxial cables to minimize signal loss. The conversation also touches on DIY antenna options and the need for proper tuning to avoid signal interference.
