Hi, just warning for others.
I recently bought the SainSonic INF-661 (36cm dual band antenna) for better performance of my Yaesu FT-65 HT. The antenna cost about USD 12 (incl. shipping).
I performed some test of this antenna using the KVE520 vector analyzer and the results were terrible. The antenna is complete crap. The SWR on 145MHz is 6,3 and on 438MHz it is even 12.5. On VHF, the antenna tunes a bit to SWR on 2.9 on VHF 152MHz and does not tune on UHF at all (all frequencies from 400 to 500MHz over SWR 10).
Don't buy this antenna, it is a complete crap, it will not work and you may burn your radio.
