Title: Bad crimp...
Review: I tend to ignore bad reviews - I've found in most cases that the bad experience is because of user error or not reading the description of the item thoroughly before buying. I ignored the bad reviews for this item - How difficult could it be to make an antenna? This item arrived in 2 parts - the BNC base and the telescoping section... this is not how they are supposed to arrive. I tried shoving the two back together but only ended up causing more damage to the telesoping section. I eventually managed to mate the two and wrapped it generously in electrical tape --- sexy. I will say that I noticed an increase in reception right away - but I have a sad, crooked antenna that I doubt will stay together very long. The issue seems to be the terrible crimp job between the two sections - this is something the manufacture needs to resolve... maybe go for a threaded option or something... I dunno. Even if this arrived whole I imagine I would need to treat it carefully to keep from breaking it.
