Hi Troy, I used to have one, it worked fine for about 1 year then it got
broke. Dunno what was wrong with it though.

I am after a good V/UHF airband antenna and found this on a Google
search. Anybody actually own one and can tell me how they perform?

Why not try a !good! amateur dual band 2m/70cm antenna, a lot cheaper, less obtrusive, and IMHO a
lot better.

Yes! Or just buy a regular discone OR open dipole. That'll work just as
well but cheaper ;-)

This may not really be a good idea.
The aircraft band is a long way from the 2m bands and you will be using the
antenna well outside its designed frequency band. Depending on the precise
construction of the antenna, it may receive no better than a damp piece of
string. My own 2m/70cms co-linear (well sited, outside) actually receives
less than a discone in the loft on airband. No contest on 2m or 70cms
though, the co-linear is far better.
