Thank you for approving my request. I'm new to GMRS and am looking to get going. I'm involving my family as these current times we are in are troublesome, to say the least. I'm a retired deputy sheriff that served 28 years. I'm the proud father of 5 great kids who are all grown and doing well. At the moment, I waiting on my Wouxun KG-1000G to arrive. At this time I have no idea on a base antenna for the unit.
