A look at the Panorama mobile antennas and magmount I have been using in my recent PMR446 test videos. A few people asked about them, so here's a bit more information.
In this video, I'm looking at the following aerials.
• Panorama MMR Magmount
• Panorama AUGHB-VAR 5/8 Wave 3.5dBi / 1.5dBd Gain
• Panorama AQB-VAR 1/4 Wave 2.0dBi / 0dBd Gain
• Panorama ACUHB-VAR Collinear 7dBi / 5dBd Gain

Because these products are relatively specialist, a search on Amazon tends to give you nothing but cheap options. They work, but the quality of parts leaves a lot to be desired and, as is common these days, everything is made to a tight budget.
I wanted a mobile antenna built to last. The type that would be installed by a company in their fleet of vehicles and would be expected to have a long life.
Looking on forums related to radio (which is a dangerous thing in itself due to the mass of self-opinionated nonsense on forums) there seems to be a consensus that Panorama make good gear. So I sought out a few different types of PMR antenna and placed an order through Radiotronics.
This kit is beautifully made, simple to use, reliable and performs very well. It's not overly expensive which makes it even better!
Thanks for watching and please let me know in the comments which one you like the best, whether you have ever used these and any great alternatives that I could try.
