Great low profile NMO dual band antenna.
Good quality made antenna, brass base, good fit and finish, looks clean. Works well with good VSWR as long as your mounting location has ground plane. I use a couple of these and have good results with them.Read full review

Ok antenna but not the greatest!
When it comes to vhf n uhf I like to have every ounce of power to the antenna. I precision cut the coax so it has less than a half watt of reflective power.
This antenna tuned great on the 2 meter band with less than a half of a watt reflective. However, the lowest reflective power on the 70cm band was 5 watts.Read full review

Good Value, Good Performance
Great low profile dual band antenna. I installed this on my 2013 Prius using the TRAM NMO trunk lip mount and it works great, despite being on the corner of the roof of the car.
I did bend the element slightly to keep it vertical since the mount is on the sloping part of the hatch.
Overall, a very good antenna for the money. We'll see how it holds up over time.
I still have some 20+ year old mobile antennas that still work!Read full review

Short UHF/VHF Antenna Performance
This antenna works well on both VHF and UHF when mounted on the vehicle's roof
due to the added height, particularly on a SUV or RV. When mounted on the trunk
lid/rear deck lid or fender, it has basic quarter wave performance on receive for both,
and VHF transmit, and only a marginally increased performance on UHF transmit. As
with most quarter wave style antennas, it can be trimmed some to frequencies used. Read full review

Very good and affordable dual band antenna
Looking for a good durable and affordable dual band antenna, it does have some gain, but it's not a 5/8 wave, the tram 1181 fills the bill. these are very affordable antennas-around $15-20. unity gain on vhf, and 2.5db gain on uhf. pre-tuned for the 2m/70cm ham bands.
the build quality is good on the nmo base, and the antenna itself is pre-tuned and ready to use. antenna itself is good quality heavy type black coated metal stinger that handles at least 50 watts, as that is what i'm running thru it.
i own 2 of these units and they are broad banded and work just fine for local area repeaters and simplex stations. i haven't had any problems or issues with either of mine. one is on the car, the other one i'm using on a base kit for a simplex repeater, also running 50 watts.
looking for something that works for your portable or mobile, and don't, or might not want longer 5/8 wave, and want a lower price too, be sure and check this antenna out. think you'll be happy and surprised at it. i was.
be great to have an extra one just to have ready in a go bag, or an extra to put on a mag mount on a friends car if going out with them and they don't have an antenna, quick antenna on a second vehicle your own.
i like my units. and for the price, can't beat it, with capabilities for both bands-pre-tuned and low swr. i checked mine and that was all i did--didn't touch or even think about any slight adjustments to it. was that good!
i'm sure these will last for many years for me and do just fine. really nothing to go bad or wrong on them. nice black finish on antenna and the nmo mount. give them a look.Read full review

Tram 1181 dual band antenna
Performs excellent with my CS800D mobile radio, has very good range on receiving and transmitting, a very good choice for any VHF/UHF transceiver.

True performer
I have one of these on each of my vehicles. Low profile and does great. I can hit repeaters almost 100 miles away with it. While it doesn't receive as well as a 5/8 wave it works great for my needs.

Excellent, AAA+++
This is a great Tram antenna for GMRS ( I am not licensed for Ham)
I can hit the repeater from 40-50 miles out with a good line of sight

Good Quality works perfectly in the Ham 2M and GMRS bands.
Good Quality works perfectly in the Ham 2M and GMRS bands. Low SWR reading in the middle of theses bands. Will buy another one for a friend.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
This is a high quality dual band VHF/UHF antenna for use on an NMO mount. It is mechanically robust and as effective as any dual band antenna of comparable size. The black coating on the antenna element does not show any signs of chipping or fading. All in all, this antenna does exactly what it is supposed to do.Read full review
