Tri-band mag mount antenna (eBay)... opinions?

[TBennettcc]

I am a ham. There are two local nets that broadcast on 2 meters (144 MHz) and 70 cm (440 MHz). I also enjoy listening to my local police (860 MHz).

This would hopefully be used for both transmit and receive on 144 / 440 MHz, and receive-only on 860 MHz.

Would this be a decent "all-in-one" compromise antenna?

If not, would you have any other suggestions?

I've seen the Larsen 150/450/800 MHz NMO mount, but I'm concerned about what the SWR / performance would be on 144 and 440. I'm not sure if being off by ~ 10 MHz would make that much of a difference. I know Larsen makes good antennas.

Thanks for all your help.

I guess you could try it, i'd personally be concened about the RG174 coax(very small and breaks easily)
