Not sure need advice
I have a anytone AT5555 and need a home base antenna.
I do not at this time want to spend a lot so I have been looking at two (1) Sigma Venom 5/8 wave HG with radials at £24.95 or (2) Sirio SD27 Dipole at £39.95 both at Nevada
just would like some opinions on these and any others.
thank you for taking the time to read this. mark

Re: Not sure need advice
Hi Mark,
Id go for the venom 5/8 over the dipole mainly for the fact that a 1/2 wave dipole can be made for peanuts using a fibreglass roachpole and some wire....
The venom has had some good reports and should outperform the dipole by around 1 s point which isnt much but in my view is a better made antenna..
