Baofeng UV-5 & UV-3 antenna analysis and comparison

The conclusion is that in VHF both antennas perform very well, with SWR close to1:1. In UHF, the performances are really bad, with SWR greater than 4:1.
UV-5 is better than UV-3 in terms of SWR, due to longer antenna, I guess.
So, now that I know, I will go buy an new, better, bigger antenna for my UV-5.
