Hello to all as I am a bit new here, but not entirely new to GMRS. I had a question related to the Antenna height.
So I personally use GMRS in my adventure vehicle for Touring/Overlanding. I currently have the Midland MXT575(50 Watt Radio) in it and I can say that is a nice radio with the power. I also have the Midland Ghost Antenna as well which is a 3 dB type Antenna. It is mounted on the roof to help clear any instructions on the vehicle, but here are a few things on the roof that are kinda in the way(recovery boards, fuel cans, water tanks and whatever else I may throw up top).
Something I have been looking at and considering is the new Midland Highland and Canyon Edge 3 dB Antenna's(28-28.5 inches tall over the 3.5 inch Ghost). If anything they would be taller and still be mounted on the roof. I would also make sure to have the folding base for when I don't have it in use. My only question is would there be any benefits other than not having to worry about obstructions from item on the roof? Again I would be staying with a 3 dB so the projection pattern and range should be the same if not mistaken.
Thanks in advance
