Nagoya NA-771G (GMRS)
If your handheld is a GMRS radio, the GMRS-tuned NA-771G is a better match than the standard dual-band NA-771. Same build quality, frequencies that line up with the GMRS band.
Proprietary RR score
How we scored it
Performance is derived from the antenna's length in wavelengths on each band it covers, not from the advertised gain. How we score →
Length versus wavelength
What 389 mm Buys You
An antenna radiates according to its length measured in wavelengths, not according to the number on the packaging. Here is where this one lands on each band it covers.
| Band | Wavelength | This antenna | Works out as |
|---|---|---|---|
| GMRS465 MHz | 645 mm | 0.60 λ | 5/8 wave |
Decision helper
Is this antenna right for you?
Yes, if you're…
- ✓GMRS handhelds with SMA-Female jacks
- ✓Crossover ham and GMRS users
Skip it, if you're…
- ✕Pure 2m/70cm ham use (get the standard NA-771)
Tradeoffs
The good and the bad
What we like
- Tuned specifically for the GMRS band
- Better range than a stock GMRS antenna
- Flexible and durable Nagoya build
What we don't
- Optimized for GMRS, not a do-everything dual-bander
- Long at 15.3 inches

Overview
The NA-771G is the GMRS-tuned sibling of the NA-771. It uses the same flexible build, but the element is cut for the GMRS frequencies around 462 to 467 MHz rather than the broad ham 2m/70cm range.
For a GMRS radio, that targeted tuning gives better performance than a generic dual-band whip. It carries an SMA-Female connector to fit Baofeng-style GMRS handhelds.
