WSDB540 got a reaction from WRYZ926 in GMRS Base Antenna Spacing
I can go higher for the GMRS antenna thanks for the help.

General rule of thumb is to space antennas apart by 1/2 to 1 full wave length. A full wave length for CB is 11 meters/36 feet. A half wave length is 5.5 meters/18 feet. So you would want your GMRS antenna at least 18 feet away from your CB antenna horizontally. You can put antennas closer together vertically if you have the space to go up and down.

I had on my truck dual firesticks on each bed rail and then had my mxta26 on the roof about 2.5ft away from each firestick with no issues.

Antenna spacing is critical when the frequencies are within the same band or one (or both) are using high power. CB is essentially HF (below 30 MHz) while GMRS is UHF (462 - 467 MHz) or 20 times higher in frequency. Your spacing should be at least a quarter-wave length of the UHF channels or 15 CM.

Yes CTCSS is set to 162.2
RX CTCSS is off.
Nothing happens no repeater anything.
The first of the week I have a ride and we will go right by it
I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your help

That is okay I get out of bed the wrong way some days LOL. I may get the Tidradio you like on your YouTube page thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

I do have a GMRS call sign WSDB540 It will not let me finish my set up because I don't have a Ham call sign.
