Buyer Beware - Cobra Ultralight

The antenna is 50ft in the air in a flat top configuration. When I hooked it up to my radio, it would not tune on segments of certain bands, most noticeably 75/80. I That all seems pretty reasonable though the explanation that the "built in tuner would not accept more than a certain level of SWR" is not a good way to express the limits of internal tuners, but it is an explanation that would appeal to those with lesser knowledge. The problem is that antenna is advertised to work all bands. Unfortunately it doesn't do very well on many bands. The SWR is "off the scale" on many bands. |
