Browning is an old name that was mostly associated with CB radios. The original Browning company is long gone, but whoever holds the trademark on the name sells the rights to Chinese manufacturers. In my opinion, the quality is questionable.

Laird Antennas has a long history in the land mobile antenna business. Laird is now owned by TE Connectivity, a U.S./Swiss company.

They are. Low quality Chinese antennas using an American brand name from the 70's to trick hobbyists into buying their antennas. You'll get exactly what you pay for.

Please don't put us through the hundreds of posts about choosing antennas for your application only to go and buy Cheap Chinese Crap Antennas.

We've all put far too much effort into assisting you to have it end like this.
