Hi Ross, the answer is yes to both, I bought a 771 for my UV5R and it works a treat, but looking at various sites on the net, it would seem that some work better than others. The 771 is a 2mtr / 70cm antenna, and 446 is more or less the same as 70cm, so it'll work well there too. All the best......Andy
They say hard work never killed anyone..........but why take the chance?

I have one as well.

I haven't noticed a huge difference on UHF, but on VHF the longer antenna definitely receives better.

Makes a big difference on my Baofeng UV-B5, can't hit the Mull repeater with the standard duck, but no problem with the 771.
