Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019
That said, I put this on a tail light mount on my Wrangler and used a 6ft section of KMR-400 to connect it to my TYT TH-9800. After using a hacksaw to cut off approximately an inch (going about 1/4 inch at a time) I was able to get this down to an SWR of about 1.7 at 146.000 MHz and overall at 2 or below across the band. I would have liked to go lower, but I guess given my mounting location that's as best as it would do. I was then able to hit a repeater on a mountain approximately 40 miles away and received a good signal report, so once installed I can't complain too much about the performance.
Keep in mind this antenna is for 2m only and is not a dual band like a lot of 2m/70cm antennas. The SWR was around 13 in the GMRS and 70cm ranges.

The antenna has barely clipped a few pipes driving through a parking deck but other than a scary rattle and "thwop!" that scares you to death (if you're like me and get used to never hitting anything and therefor forget about the antenna's height) the antenna continues to work like a champ.
I would recommend this to anyone needing a mobile 2m antenna although you could technically mount it ANYWHERE!
No Cons on this product at all.
