pick-up truck, after reading many positive reviews for this antenna, from various sites !
The rating I gave in the middle, for weather proof, is only because of the short time I have had it, and so far, so good, as you never know what weather we may see here in Illinois, as we had snow yesterday, (04-20-21), after I mowed the lawn the day before ?
Antenna arrived in two pieces, and assembly was quick and easy, using supplied Allen wrench.
( I have read where some have opted to use some type of thread lock, here ), so far I have not, but I also made sure that " all " Allen's were snugged up!
Mounted center of pick-up's roof, and SWR was 1.2 to 1 on VHF, and 1.3 to 1 on UHF, out of package, per an MFJ Antenna analyzer!
Pretty flat here, however my city is in a steep bowl, with the center near a river.
Have easily worked Amateur Radio repeater's from 40 to 65 miles away, with good reports, and a 2 meter simplex contact at 65 miles or so ! ( Early morning, possible band
enhancement ?) while setting stationary in my driveway !
This combination seems to work well, as the law of reciprocity applies, as it hears as well as it talks !
Report that this antenna holds a long distance record, for me, are sketchy at best, as I discovered a balloon flight in the formula ?
None the less, this antenna is working well, and well worth the very affordable price !
Build quality seems good !
Drawing from over 40 years of active Hamming !
Hope this helps !
But like anything else, do your homework, and see if this might work for your mobile, as well ?
'73 !
Tram adverstises as pre-tuned & it certainly seems so after a quick test with my nanovna! 2m seems flat across the band and for 70cm everything over 425~MHz has an swr of 1.5 or below. Sweet!
I did try to compare it against my base antenna and it seemed to perform as good or better. However, my base antenna is a 19" groundplane in my attic. But the driveway is a tad higher than my driveway. I was able to hit at least as many repeaters and even though I didnt a reply when I called "This is, KC1OCA testing" I did hear the repeater kerchunk and the repeaters identified themselves.
My main reason for getting this is for APRS, unfortuneatly my Subaru Legacy seems to transmit RF on 144.390 so I havent been able to give it a good test yet. But, seeing as its NMO I will be using it on an magmount base in another vehicle and driving around to see how it performs.
Also note the picture, the Tram logo matches up almost perfectly with the logo on a Tram 1246B. I'm sure the marketing department had their hand in this, but is a nice detail.
One thing I really like about the Tram is the connection is made via pin & spring as opposed to a metal tab. The tabs on some other antennas seem to corrode or just occasionally make a bad contact. The spring & pin seems to be much more consistent.

Nice antenna it's the same built constructon which will last you years on vechical.
These are same Tram Antennas sold at Hamfest's will do nicely for 144-449 mhz.
Upon opening this new antenna, I seen it was still made with same good quality.
*This base loaded Tram 1180 allows total Isolation of UHF/VHF freqs for De-sense Free Cross-banding.
Antenna comes with allen-key useful if triming and going into 462/467 or VHF MURS 151-154 mhz.
*Always check Manufacture for triming instructions, Cutting to much whip can damage antenna.
*Tuning not required for standard 441.0 - 444.995+ and 145.110 to147.390+ Repeaters splits USA.
Funny thing, after purchasing I found out that Tram is in the town I live in.
