Any recommendations on a good dual band HT whip??
I need to find a good 2M/70cm dual band HT whip currently on the market. All the ones I've analyzed appear to be off frequency. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just curious, which ones have you looked at? I've been using the RH-77B (from Diamond, I think) for years, but am blissfully unaware of its characteristics.

Same here. I have both the SMA and BNC versions of it, and it works far better than the stock antennas that came with the radios.

Dave,
My favorite repeater is line of sight blocked by a hill. I can hear it fine, but in general with the stock antenna, whether Kenwood, Icom, or Yaesu equipment, I have a couple of hot spots in the house where I can get in. Consistently, switching to an RH-77 means I have good general coverage with only a couple of dead spots.
I have an AIMUHF analyzer, the same model the ARRL uses as their standard, and all three RH-77s have been slightly off resonance. Perhaps incorrectly, I attribute that to the analyzer being part of the antenna system when testing a rubber duck, which is not what is intended. Even if that is wrong, the practical results indicated there is no significant issue.
Just be careful to get them from a reputable dealer. The ones on EBay are often physically indistinguishable from the real thing, but can be far off frequency and perform poorer than stock.
73s,
Alan WA4SCA
