Diamond SRH320A


The Diamond SRH320A is a tri-band HT antenna for 2 meters, 220 and 430 MHz. It is 13.5 inches (35 cm) tall and weighs about 1 ounce (30 g). This semi-flexible antenna is black with bottom and center loading coils. This 50 ohm antenna can handle up to 10 watts.
The SRH320A is a 1/4 wave on 2 meters and 220 MHz, a 1/2 wave on 430 MHz. This antenna terminates to a 50 ohm SMA. It is also suitable for wideband receivers which feature an SMA connector. It is also optimized for receive on the 120, 150, 300, 450 and 900 MHz bands. Made in Japan.
I have to admit this Antenna Works good on my Kenwood TH-F6A HT.
The Antenna that comes with the radio works good but you can tell straight away how you can work the repeaters that you can only hear and not work.
It is long and it your not careful you can get a jab on your side or into your arm pit but its flexible so it can bend well. the coast is about $60 just wish that more hams on the 1.25 meter band to really see how this works on that band.
