These are definitely fake. I've owned a few. They work but they don't last as the biggest issue is the quality. The price here in the states is about $7. Great demo. 73
These are predominantly fake, Diamond do not make a female SMA version of this antenna they only produce a male SMA (SRH-805). I have both the original Diamond which is around £22 from a reputable seller and this is good with low SWR on both bands - But these fake ones are terrible on VHF, semi OK on UHF. These fake ones cost anywhere between £2 to £10 on Amazon / eBay, but I do use a fake one for a local personal hotspot on low power, that's all they are good for really... I can open a UHF repeaters some distance away but must be terribly scratchy / noisy signals. Stick it on the Analyser Jez you will see.
Great test Jez
