Does anyone know if there are better antennas that will fit the Baofeng uv-r5?

If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.

Glad to see you have you alternative comms in place cos you CB/Car combo are susceptible to the dreaded CME/EMP

Yeah baby! String is invincible!!!!!!! Until it breaks. It's pretty easy to tap as well. Just add another bit of string with a yogurt pot on, and you're in.
Also, it's easy to cut the line......literally.
It's not the most mobile system either. Even a 4meter ariel/antenna/coat-hanger-thing is more mobile and subtle. But that's all besides the point!!!

............................................Yep,
The UV5rs can be had from £30.00
The antenna supplied with the radio is adequate and is tuned for the entire transmit capability of the radio, so just using this is the safest way to go........................................................
In that case I might just leave it as it is for now,... with the option of trying another at a later date,... thanks
