This style of antenna has been said to outperform a Ringo Ranger:
I just had to write and Thank You again for great antenna. Excellent antenna. I have a friend who has and brags about how well his Ringo Ranger works. He has come over and listened while I worked contacts he couldn’t even hear !! Look forward to his order in the near future. (LOL). Thanks again. – eBay member Fishinbarber.
I got the 2 meter J-Pole about a week or two ago and just now finally got it mounted. Very nice! I have been reading the Missouri repeater directory trying to see how many repeaters I can hit. So far, the furthest is 90 miles away. I was actually taken by suprise when I keyed up, said my call and got a repeater beep back! I was not expecting to hit one that far away. Talked on another repeater that was 60 miles away and he stated I was full quieting. Very awesome! – Andrew WA0TFV

The 2 Meter Breakaway J-Pole Antenna
2 meter breakaway antenna
The Breakaway 2 meter J-Pole is the same antenna as the original model but with a two piece design. Same dimensions and specs as the original J-Pole but with a screw connector in the middle for easy transport and storage. Now the antenna will fit in the trunk of your car. Carry it with you for fast emergency communications deployment.
I like to take this particular antenna camping as the two piece design takes up less space than the one piece antenna.
