    Rugged and Flexable

    The Super Gainer Antenna covers an ultra wide frequency range not found in most, it is designed for Rx reception only, and not recommended for Tx mode in fear of damaging the transceiver. I was surprised to find when turning down the RF gain by half on my ICOM R20, still brought in a decent signal. The best part is no adjustment is required when scanning, "just plug and play".

    After market average

    Whilst it’s nicely made it doesn’t do much more. If you want a good antenna get a frequency specific one from Broadsword Antennas or Spectrum Communications. These people make a quality item that works for better price.

  • Watson W-881 Super Gainer antenna BNC connector

    This is the second one I have bought. It works well with my Uniden UBC-3500XLT. It will work great with any hand held scanner radio that has a BNC antenna connector. It should also be fine with an amateur hand held transceiver for the 2 metres and 70 centimetres bands.

  • Good Antenna

    Very good build and improved reception... Curiosity killed my previous Watson 901 antenna of the same build....I decided to dismantle it and it was very well made...the plastic housing has a brass core and coil on a nylon base inside as well as a capacitor, the main element is a tight wire torc....virtually bombproof....lt was far better internally than I expected. Just received the ISS using the Watson 881!!!!

  • Fantastic Aerial

    Started working straight away. increased range of pickup by about 50 miles over my previous aerial and both aerials cost about the same price. Very well made and good value for the price. 5 Stars all the way.

  • Does what it says on the tin, good replacement for one supplied with scanner

    Just the job much better than the one supplied with the radio, although the one supplied is ok.
