The proper antenna to go with you 878 is an essential accessory when in any risky situation. Antennas such as the Nagoya NA-771 15.6-Inch whip Female Antenna help to receive hard to hear signals, and also help you transmit further, both key benefits that could make a huge difference. In most cases, the longer the antenna, the more capable it is to boost weaker frequencies and receive transmissions in various scenarios. If you need a little shorter antenna for convenience and portability purposes, then go with the Nagoya NA-701 8-Inch Whip VHF/UHF Female Antenna. Both antennas extend the range of your 878, which may be the deciding factor in making a contact, and being just out of reach.
