I'll check out the grindr app, and I am doing a lot of research into HAM radio, which will most likely be my next step. since posting this I've learned a lot about it and mostly just looking for more distance with my radios rather than ppl to chat with. we use the ht's around the property and camping, and I have a mobile unit in my work vehicle which does get more distance, but I still would like to get a bit more range out of it. I'm working adding to my house at the moment so a base station is on hold for the moment until we get the new addition done (we live in a 900 square ft cabin). new addition is for office and extra bedroom. Been doing a lot of research for my base station setup and any suggestions on antennas would be great I've looked at a comet and a few others but not sure which way to go.
