Looking for ~3" 153-157MHz SMA antenna

[JHaislet]

I'm trying to find a 3" (or less) 153-157MHz SMA antenna to use on a 396T.

I haven't had much luck tracking down a Maldol MH-255 which fits the bill, but most places only carry the HAM tuned version (MH-209).

The Antenex DEXS150SM is tuned for 150-162 mhz and is 3.5 inches long.

I got the MH-255 SMA in today & posted a review with pics here:

Have you (or anyone) used this antenna?

I also ordered the Maldol based on JHaislet's review.

I'll also order the Antenex DEXS150SM if it has favorable reviews.

I haven't used the DEXS150SM. I have 6 Antenex antennas that I use on portable scanners. The main appeal is that they look very professional (I like the covered BNC connector). I only have one Antenex antenna with SMA connector and it's tuned for 800 mhz.

I've been pleased with Antenex, but I don't have a lot to compare Antenex to reception-wise since almost all my tuned antennas are Antenex antennas.
