00:00Two antennas, same job, wildly different price tags.
00:03The Diamond RH773 is the name everybody knows, but the Nagoya NA771 has quietly become the one
00:10people actually buy. I went through the top listings and the prices people are really paying
00:15right now, and I think the answer might surprise you. This is the sweet spot Nagoya. The NA771
00:23SMA Female, Dual Band 144 and 430MHz, and it comes in 1, 2, or 5 packs so you can cover
00:31every radio in
00:31the drawer. Just over 8 bucks for a single, grab the multi-pack if you've got a family of handhelds.
00:38Almost 5,000 sold, and the rating sits at a perfect 5.
00:43Quancheng UVK5, UVK6, Baofeng DM1701, UV21, plug it in and go.
00:49This one is the cheapest of the bunch, under $4, and it's the SMA Male Soft Whip.
00:55That's the version for the older rigs Yesu, Baofeng UV3R, TYTTH UVF9.
01:01The flexible rubber core takes a beating and keeps shape,
01:04so it survives a pocket or a glove box better than a rigid whip.
01:08Almost as many sold as the first listing, just a hair lower on rating.
01:13For a spare antenna or a travel radio, this is the value king.
01:17Now this is the one I trust on my main radio.
01:22Same NA771, but sold as 100% original Nagoya, and the rating holds a solid 4.8,
01:28you can feel it in the connector threads and the tight seal.
01:31Works with Baofeng, Kenwood, Pushing, Wuxin, the whole SMA family.
01:3611 bucks, and it still undercuts most of the diamond-branded alternatives you'd find stateside.
01:42Most expensive Nagoya on this list, and there's a reason.
01:46It's the SMA Male Flexible version for the TYTTH UV8000D and radios with that beefier connector.
01:53Full 5-star rating, over 4,000 sold, and people pay up because it's the one that actually fits
01:58those heavier pro-handheld bodies.
02:021798, and it still lands cheaper than most RH773 listings you'll see.
02:07Last one, and this is the bundle deal.
02:10This listing actually names both antennas, the Nagoya NA771 and the 773, in the same pack,
02:17SMA Female, for Quan Ching UVK5, UVK6, Baofeng DM1701, UV82, Ham Rigs.
02:245 bucks flat.
02:26Lower rating, lower sales, but if you wanted both antennas in one order and you like saving money,
02:32this is where the value hides.
02:34So here's the verdict, the NA771 wins on value and the RH773 still wins on brand name,
02:40and that's an honest split.
