Hi!

I'm looking for a replacement antenna for the standard antenna of the 
TH-F7E. After searching the internet, the SRH-519 seems to fit my 
demands the most:
- it's relatively small (20cm)
- is tuned for 145MHz (SWR 1:1.2) and 435MHz (SWR 1:1.0)
- seems to be wideband enough to use on frequencies outside the HAM 
bands (with permission ofcourse)

Questions:
- is anyone using this antenna? If so, any comments?
- is there an SWR graph available somewhere? I would like to know what 
frequencies are safe to use without re-tuning the antenna
- are there other antenna's that would fit my demands (<30cm/12", dual 
band, wideband for TX around HAM bands, usable for RX 80-500MHz at least)?

Thanks!
