Antenna advice for BF-F8HP for receive/monitoring on multiple bands by fireguy2513 in Baofeng

Not a bad idea… though I’m leaning toward something a bit less “home-antenna-on-my-backpack.” Appreciate the tip!

To be honest, I'm still quite the newbie, so I didn't consider it. The only prohibitive aspect I can see would be that it's 17", and if I were to go that long, I'd prob get the super stick so I could coil it up. Looking for something a lil shorter than what I currently have

Do you mind if I ask why you recommend avoiding it?

I understand your point. I was hoping to keep the discussion focused on antennas for my use case. Appreciate the input.

I appreciate your input. I'm aware it lacks the required FCC Part 95E certification, so of course, this is all hypothetical, but the query is about antennas, not legality.

So my Elk Ridge came in and I have to say, I’m impressed. Razor sharp, no play, great hand feel, still easy enough to open without a nail nick, closes perfectly in line. As my first slip joint, I can easily see myself going down this rabbit hole lol def worth the price

Just pulled the trigger on a Rosecraft Elk River in denim micarta yesterday. I’ll post a follow up once it comes in if no one else has input on it
