Description
One of the frequent questions I get is how to upgrade the stock antenna on a handheld radio. Whether that’s for a higher standard of performance (most often) or in terms of durability when interfacing in a tactical loadout, the stock antenna often leaves much to be desired.
There’s many options for upgrades out there and I’ve seen and used nearly all of them, ranging from expensive Ham-oriented options (that often come up short in terms of durability) or tape-whip tactical antennas that mimic what we used on our Harris Falcon IIIs and MBITRs. We used to break those a lot too…and they wouldn’t be my first choice.
The best option that I’ve found is the Gooseneck antenna – an BNC connector base, a flexible mid section and a rigid antenna section on the top third. It flexes with you when weaved in and out of webbing straps on a chest rig or plate carrier and is structurally very strong when paired with an SMA to BNC adapter.
Its a high performance antenna that will upgrade the transmitting range of any dual band VHF/UHF handheld radio regardless of brand and the one I personally use.

Great antenna at a great price.

It has to much play in the connector, won’t make contact unless you put some pressure on the antenna

Gooseneck Antenna
Performs great on AR-152. Definite improvement over the standard antenna provided with the radio. Really enjoy the flexibility of the antenna when using the radio on my chest rig.

Have not tried it yet, got it as a backup to a backup.

Gooseneck antenna
I haven’t had much opportunity to use it .. yet. It’s certainly more rugged than my SMA whip antenna but I get much better RX and TX with my 2m ground plane for base station applications.

BBC gooseneck antenna
I recently purchased the BBC gooseneck antenna from Brushbeater Store. It is installed on a Yaesu FT-60, using sma/bnc adapter (also from Brushbeater).
It works well on our local repeaters. The only deficit is a little looseness in the bnc connection part of the antenna itself. It does not affect function, it’s just a minor annoyance. Overall a good product.

Big improvement
Better range, more clarity. Much better on the chest rig vs the factory antenna. FJB

I haven’t been able to connect the antenna. I’ve sent two emails trying to get more information on how to connect it but I haven’t received anything from BrushBeaters until this message.
Matt Huber (verified owner) –
Great as expected from Brushbeater
Everything advertised! Another cost effective investment to expand my, and my tribes comms capabilities. Do make sure to add the male>female adapter to your cart, it’s needed. Shipping was really fast and as per usual it was a great experience.

Fit and finish horrible. Antenna rattles around at connection. Horrible tx and rx
joseph ianniello (verified owner) –
I received nothing that was shown on the pictures or advertised. I got a Chinese mock ooff that dosent even look anything like the picture or fit on the radio without an adapter

BNC Gooseneck Antenna
The antenna is definitely more rubust, but that results in more weight. The bottom line is it seems to give me more range and I like stuff that’s tough and works well.

works well for everything i need.
John Flanagan (verified owner) –
Brushbeater was prompt and fulfilled this order as expected. Abbree goosneck antenna is a fail.
The bnc connection is not strong – too much play so to get a signal you have to twist, push and pull until it works. Using a sme female to bnc connector so I tried a couple different ones with no change. It would work great for a non-working prop though.

This gooseneck antenna is even more robust than I thought it would be. Paired with the connectors they sell here and utilized with the AR152 (also sold here), the performance is top notch. I recommend the addition of some rubber O-rings (you can do this on your own) between the connector and the antenna socket for improved retention of the antenna for a tight lock up. This antenna is awesome!

GOOD ANTENNA
Works like it should
Ralph Noa (verified owner) –
Great improvement over OEM antenna
I’ve purchased two of these antenna’s in the past couple of years and have always been pleased with the increased transmission/reception that results, as well as an improved audio over the original equipment that comes with the radio. I also like being able to fold the antenna out of the way.
Charles McMillan (verified owner) –
I should have read prior reviews first
Antenna works for Rx, have not tested for Tx. Fitment is not secure and has a lot of slop/wiggle (I can remove it without directly touching it) and product is not as shown in product images at the time of writing this. Email request for clarification was not fruitful, and vendor will levy 50% restock fee despite this if I seek a return and refund.
This has been my worst customer experience in years. Shipping was on time and response to email was prompt but unsatisfactory.

BNC is the only way to go! Antenna arrived quickly and works very well.
Kevin Arburn (verified owner) –
I need to get more of these. One awesome antenna
I ordered just one of these BNC units and the fit is excellent. Plus it’s hefty enough that I don’t worry as much about breakage as I do with the long, whippy antennas. The performance is there as well.

Goose Neck antenna
I bought two of these, one for each 152 that I purchased. One works very well, the other didn’t work at all. I changed out the BNC adapters to see if that was the problem. No joy. Then I tried the rubber duck included with the radio, and it was able to hit the repeater 10 miles away. I also tried a Signal Stuff whip antenna. Same result. I also used the problematic gooseneck on the other 152 and it still didn’t work. It’s a problem with this individual antenna. The other works fine, so that is why the 3 star rating. If both had worked, it would have been 5 star.

Awesome
Was surprised at how well it worked. Great piece of kit.

AR152 radio and gooseneck antenna
It’s better to be prepared ahead of time. So I went with the AR152 battery and gooseneck antenna from Brush Beater. The radio is Baofeng based with a MASSIVE battery that’ll last forever. The radio is built better than your typical Baofeng. The additional gooseneck antenna is strong, flexible and gets fantastic reception. I’m confident I’ll have good comms if things ever go sideways and this combo can take a beating. Pair this with Brush Beaters Guerillas Guide the Baofeng Radio and you’ll be well prepared in case of any a natural disaster or things going kinetic. And super affordable for you get. Get the radio, antenna and book and you’ll be communication ready for whatever happens.

Worth the money. I was surprised at the weight and heavy duty feel of the antenna. Definitely a more robust option than any whip style antennas.

Great performance and durability
Antenna has good performance and durability. The upper portion is rigid, tough, and will easily stand away from vest or gear using the hand flex bendable middle section. Can be laced thru gear or bent away as needed. Well worth it for radio or observation gear.
Fletch (verified owner) –
Flexible and very handy.
Don’t forget the sma/bnc adapter
Jason Dupea (verified owner) –
Great antenna
Durable, flexible, and now slightly better put together with the new BNC connector, this antenna makes an AR-152 or an RTL-SDR that much more effective. The gooseneck allows for a vertical antenna even when you want to lay your equipment on a desk, table, or patch of ground. It also functions nicely after being spray painted. Don’t forget a BNC adaptor if you don’t already have one.

Gooseneck Antenna
A good performing antenna, especially for the cost. The gooseneck’s adjustability is nice for chest rigs, SA Ultra’s, backpack, etc. These are tough enough to take some knocks, while still performing well, but cheap enough to buy some extras in case you do break one.
RoK (verified owner) –
This is really nice. Works great too
I got this because it works… It’s tough and it works… What else do you want me to say?

Well-made product
I received everything in a timely manner, and all products are well-made. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the radios and antennas.
I did not order the antenna adapters/connectors because it was not clear on the web page which option I needed, so I still need assistance with that so I can order them.
William Kimbrel III (verified owner) –

Poor Quality
Within 3 minutes the internal guts fell completely out of the adapter. I have no faith in the second one. Would not trust to use it in the field. Also ordered the gooseneck antenna. It does not work. I have tried it on both uhf and vhf. When I eventually get to a repeater, it is beyond unreadable. I have several other antenna including the oem’s that reach and connect to repeaters that I use daily. I have been told by my contacts is piss
poor.
I have been very disappointed with your business. Have been told to contact the manufacturer. WHAT. The gooseneck has no name. Where on the cheap adapters
is a name. Was told that I would have to pay shipping and and a 20 % restocking fee. For a cheap poorly constructed gooseneck and adapters it is not worth my time. Nor will I pay out another dime. I will not visit your site again. Also I will email the Tech Preppernand others that mentioned your company. You stand behind nothing you sell.
How sad.

Awesome service and better product.
I bought the goose neck antenna with the AR-152 radio. Amazing product, out of the box I was able to pick up a net from western Idaho and Eastern Washington from Phoenix valley in AZ. The shipping was faster than quoted by a week and delivered a day earlier than the updated delivery day. Will shop with Brushbeater again.
