Nagoya UT-72 2 Meter/70CM SWR Test On Ham Bands

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- I saw a video today about the Nagoya UT-72 and its potential SWR's in a real life test. The test seemed a little off to me, 1:1 almost everywhere, which is usually more indicative of an error. So I realized I had one laying around and threw it on the old beater radio car and gave it a quick test myself with my MFJ SWR/Wattmeter to see what my results would be.
Came for the antenna, stayed for the cat.
@0:15. AH FFAAUK. 😂
🤣
Your cat was the star of the video. He likes the classic cars.
Sometimes he'll lay on the car when I'm dong stuff in it. He probably likes the car more than I think....
The cat made the video. Appreciate the antenna review!
love the way your Ham Cat is given you a hand ....... 😺😺😺.. nice video
He's a very nice kitty.
Great results with that antenna. Outstanding low SWR readings. A real performer.
It certainly seems to have its merits. Cheap, small, good reflected power. Still, only rated at 10 watts maximum output, and I have never actually tried to test the magnet on the road to see if it flies off at speed.
Your cat loves you very much.
He is a very good cat.
Thank you for posting.
Love your cat.
He's a good little kitty
I love your cat!
He is a very good cat.
i am constantly thinking about Georgie ... he's so cute !!!

Hi, Georgie!
You sweet thing, you ARE the star of the show, you know! And, what a handsome fellow you are!
Papa is growing exasperated, though...maybe you'd better go and have a cat nap till he's done?
A nice cat❤ and a nice antenna
Mine works good on everything. 2m, murs, marine channels, 440 & gmrs. Widest Band antenna I ever had.
Good day,
I'm planning to purchase either the Nagoya UT-72 or Nagoya UT-72G antenna. I'm primarily going to use frequencies between 451.000 to 455.000 most of the time, and occasionally frequencies between 144 to 147. I've heard that the Nagoya UT-72G might be a better choice since its frequency range extends from 155 to 462 compared to the Nagoya UT-72, which covers 144 to 430. However, I've noticed that the Nagoya UT-72G is more expensive in my area. Can you please provide guidance on which antenna would be the better option given my frequency usage and budget constraints? Your assistance is much appreciated.
Thank you.
I've got perhaps a similar question, as I'm wondering if the Nagoya UT-72 is a good choice for the Baofeng UV5r to use for BOTH HAM, and GMRS?
Hope we get some answers here, friend!
I’d be interested to see a test on a metal tray. I’ve heard that the SWR is uselessly high on 2m with a tray so I’m afraid to use it there. Maybe metal rods duct taped to the corners of the tray would help?
I'll give it a try here today or tomorrow. Considering what bands are used, it should not take much of a ground plane to get it to work. Might take the antenna analyzer and some steel and see what is what.
I've bought the same antenna to pair with Baofeng UV5R, but the radio stays silent. What could be the issue? Any solution will be appreciated.
I'm was just about to purchase this antenna too for my UV5r....(?)
Conclusion is/was please??
1.4:1 SWR at 144 Mhz down to 1:1 SWR at 148 Mhz on 2 meter. 1:1 SWR at 430 Mhz ranging to 1.6:1 SWR at 440 Mhz and 1.4:1 SWR at 450 Mhz. Acceptable reflected power throughout the two bands and a fine antenna. Just that it isn't 1:1 throughout the range like the other test on the other channel suggested.
just buy a Diamond or Comet. they're the same price.
I've got antennas from both, on the same car in the video. I never use the Nagoya, and always use my bigger antennas. I simply had this antenna on hand and wanted to do a quick video on it.
@@kingduckford just saying it for anyone reading comments. I got the Nagoya myself.
I can"t stand the cat distraction get rid of it for your videos.
Stick it where the sun don't shine Boris.
Hey, comon',' he's a cat - that's what cats do, he's only inherently curious, as all cats are!
Don't forget - all animals are our gifts from God...
