Whats the difference between this antenna and the NA-771 sold by baofeng for $16.99?

4 dollars. If you check both ads on amazon they are the same antenna. Both made by Nagoya just sold through different companies.

Same antenna as the Hypario NA-771. The key is the model number. Same number, identical antenna ........ just price difference.

longer range and saves power. best for mountains with limited line of sight.

They're both the same antenna as indicated by the model number, NA-771. Nagoya manufactures the antenna and it's sold by different companies so the pricing, although close, is a spread a little bit. The NA-771 I have is a very good antenna and much better than the stock Baofeng antenna that came with the radio. It has a MUCH longer range and allows me to hit various repeaters as far away as 35 miles on a good day.

Sorry but I don't know what this antenna is.The NA771 picks up better than the standard one that came on the radio.

The price and the quality is different. But do not get me wrong both are great. I just bought the ANT122F because of the price and the great reviews. I spent $60.00 on a antenna from Target and it was terrible. This little antenna was great! I do not have cable, however, I though I had cable after connecting it to my TV. Hope this helps.

Different antennas have different freq. spectrum. You should be able to buy an adapter. Anything else would be stealing Satellite time.

Sorry, not sure about that one. It actually didn't work well for me. The antenna would make a grinding sound when it was fully extended. I ended up buying an OEM antenna from another dealer. I would recommend you use only an OEM( Original Equipment manufacturer) part and not after market.

No I haven't compared them. I used to go to Radio Shack and just buy on. But this last time I went on line and the site I went to asked me some questions and to give them my zip code. It recommended one. It was cheaper than the one at Radio Shack and it worked really good. I am on Direct TV now with the antenna as a back up. I am 50 miles from Houston.

Really the only difference is the frequencies, (and the antenna is tuned for those frequencies). As to why, I bought the 2m/1.25m (144/220) because there is almost no activity in my area on the 70cm band (440) but there is a 1.25m repeater nearby that we (my wife is also a Ham, and also has a UV82x) can talk to each other on from just about anywhere in our area. So the one you want depends on the bands commonly used in your area. And in case you didn't know, this is a FCC Part 97 Ham Radio, as well as a Commercial FCC part 90 radio, both uses requires a FCC license to legally use. This radio is NOT part 95 legal (MURS and FRS/GMRS) Really the only difference is the frequencies, (and the antenna is tuned for those frequencies).

the Kenwood TH6-fa but need to remove clip. Not too crazy about the set up. Not sure about Baofeng.

Not sure, but it's junk! The dot that came with my radio worked better! This thing is mounted on the mirror of my Semi.It's performance is quite a bit less than the stock dot antenna.

It is very good quality for Chi Com - probably better than Baofeng. I have several and would highly recommend then. They come in other colors also.

Keep in mind that the 7778 is a two part system, ie one mounted on the antenna and second the power amplified inserter. Call CM (1-877-746-7261). Ideally, you want NO splitters between the antenna and the power inserter and that cable should be short as possible. Get power to the inserter by the most direct method available. Would highly recommend you NOT compromise signal strength by employing splitters AFTER the power inserter, but instead use a distributive amp, ie CM3412, etc as the benefits will be obvious.

The ExpertPower (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y2SPE4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) antenna works well. It screws all the way down inside the plastic ring around the antenna mount. It is a close fit but you shouldn't have any problems with it. It will be easy to tighten, you won't have to force it. The Nagoya 701 &771 (http://www.amazon.com/NAGOYA-NA-701-Antenna-BAOFENG-KG-UVD1P/dp/B00BY3XOSW/ref=pd_sim_e_27) are not as easy. They base of the antenna is wider and will bottom out on the plastic ring around the mount point. These antennas will only engage a thread or two and will not make contact properly. The best solution I have found it to use a F-SMA to BNC adapter. The BNC mount will be high enough to let you use any brand BNC antenna. The mount I use is the Wouxun WXBNCB. It isn't found here on Amazon though. I get mine from AES for $6.95. It is a black adapter and blends in well with the Baofeng radios. A chrome adapter might not look too bad with the GT-3 since it has the chrome volume knob but with the other Baofeng radios the black is much nicer. Most of my radios use some sort of BNC adapter so I can keep antennas simple and have the ease of quick disconnect in vehicles. Every Diamond and Comet BNC antenna has worked well on the GT-3 with no clearance problems of any kind.

They say it is only made for the Baofeng. I usually stay with OEM equipment. It will save you money in the long run.

I would say so. Mine came packaged in the box with plastic and ties too. Return it or exchange it. My radio works great. Just last night I was able to connect with someone 400 miles away using a repeater frequency. I was amazed and shocked at the same time. Of course the signal didn't last very long, but it worked. I was using the stock antenna too. I just ordered the 771 antenna yesterday.

It doesn't appear that Baofeng (or any third party suppliers) offer an "extended" battery. A spare 7.4v, 2800ma replacement battery is available from Amazon and other sources.The only replacement antenna I have seen is made by Diamond Antennas. It is a Tri-Band antenna for 144/220/440, but may not have the proper connection at the base (SMA Female required), so an adapter may be necessary. This may not be desirable. Model is SRH320A.I see why you are asking... not much out there! WB2COY
