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.

Truly appreciate a seller, in this case NC Scout, who provides awesome gear at great prices and faster shipping than Amazon.
Hands down best antenna, cannot recommend this one more. I have multiple, you should too.
Great antenna, durable and high 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.

Interesting. Within a second I know you're full of it, because you said you haven't used the antenna and then later say you get poor contacts with it. So which is it? Also, its a 50% restock fee, and a 100% fuck all the way off when you're rude to me or my staff. Don't be a jackass, we're not your dumping ground to be an asshole. -NCS
Exactly as advertised.
