ABBREE AR-805S Stubby (SMA-Female) vs Nagoya NA-701G (GMRS)

The Nagoya NA-701G is the clear winner. Both antennas are flexible SMA-Female whips, but the NA-701G's 140 mm length reaches quarter-wave electrical performance at GMRS frequencies, while the AR-805S is severely compromised at both VHF and UHF, operating at just 0.02 to 0.07 wavelengths. This is the single most important differentiator.

The AR-805S claims 3 dBi but its short 50 mm body realistically delivers around negative 5 dBi on UHF. The NA-701G claims 2.15 dBi but actually performs near zero dBi on GMRS, a much smaller overstatement. The NA-701G's score of 76 reflects its legitimately useful design, while the AR-805S scores just 49 because no marketing claim can overcome its fundamental electrical shortness.

The AR-805S suits only those who absolutely must pocket a tiny antenna and accept severe performance loss. The NA-701G suits GMRS users, portable VHF/UHF enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a practical flexible whip that actually works. Buy the Nagoya. The extra twelve dollars delivers real performance instead of false claims wrapped in rubber.
