Genuine nogoya haha its a clone

[Rwb]

Ordered a "GENUINE NOGOYA" antenna from fleabay.then i get it,made my baofeng gt 3 mark III reach out lots better. So im reading from a radio site cutting the antennas down saying they are clones and are no good,genuine nogoya cost over $25. Humm i paid $3.25 +$4. Shipping.if thats how bad a clone is then the real mccoy must make my itty bitty radio 10 ft tall n bullet proof.
I like my clone

Clones are not bad if they are made right.Often clones simply bypass the R&D that went into the original.

whats funny ,i took my baofeng to a local group that had a field day where a guy chirp programmed my radio to all local repeaters.he eyed my clone,broke out laughin said hey i got same clone antenna as well as the real thing.said his clone had lower swr.
He then dug out adapters checked mine and its low in both 2 meter and 70 cm

only reason they gripe is we buy clones for less and sometimes the clone is better
