Absolutely not. GMRS like any other radio requires 50 ohm impedance, the which RG6 is not. The three most important requirements for any system are: 1. height 2. antenna 3. feedline (coax, 50 ohms)2 points

Sweet thanks. I guess for now I'll just do the RG8/213 for now. My feed line will be less than 100'. I'll do a little more research on antennas. Just wish I had more operators up here to talk with on my mtx105. I know I don't have much to work with this as far as power and reach. If anyone knows of Maine operators please let them or me know. Thanks1 point -

TV coax is not suitable for 2 way radio. a directional antenna can make long distance communications possible even with low power input. Yes, you will turn the antenna by hand or with a relativity inexpensive rotor. depending on the Yagi, you will still have local service on the rear and side lobes. but your forward lobe can be several times further than an Omni antenna even with low power.1 point
