Long story short...
I'm trying to set up my elderly fathers base. He has limited income.
Bearcat Uniden scanner BC355 with RG58 coax, worked well with a cheap CB Antenna for monitoring police activity. Changed to an Ebay cheap GMRS antenna.(looking for a better one currently.) Radio is frequency programmed for GMRS. He is not receiving my 50 watt tx, no better than my HT distance. Obviously need a better antenna. What all do I need? Is RG58 coax OK to use?
What antenna is needed?
Is coax OK to use for receiving and possibly tx in the future?
Future plans a 50watt base.
Thanks for advice.
