I want to thank WAYOVERTHERE for the recommendation of the Midland Micro Mobile Antenna my SWR is now at 1.2 on the above frequency. Thank you again you saved me!!

WAYOVERTHERE I just ordered the Midland antenna

I am transmitting on 467.725 I hope that help but I am finding most duel band only are rated to 450hz

Is there anything else beside the Antenna that can cause High SWR ? Wayoverthere you said most likely the ones I was using duel band ant. which is true do you think using a strickly UHF ant is a better Idea ?

I am sorry for the lack of information as I am fairly new to this grms world but yes WAYOVERTHERE is correct I am using a BTECH GMRS 50X1 the Antennas I have used were all purchased from amazon This is the last one UAYESOK VHF UHF NMO Antenna L-Bracket Vehicle Radio Antenna Roof NMO Mount Dual Band 144/430MHz NMO Antenna W/13ft/4M RG58 Coax Cable this had an SWR of 2.5 , Bingfu Vehicle Ham Radio Mobile Radio Antenna Dual Band VHF UHF 136-174MHz 400-470MHz Amateur Radio Low Profile NMO Mount Antenna for Car Truck Ham Radio Mobile Radio Two Way Radio Marine VHF Radio This one was 1.9 and lastly YS TCJ-N1 Dual Band NMO 144Mhz/430Mhz Mobile FM Transceiver 2M/70cm Antenna with 13 ft RG58 Coax Cable NMO to UHF PL259 Connector for Yaesu Kenwood HYT Vertex Icom Mobile Radios swr 2.5 Last night I looked at the Tram 1180 Dual Band NMO Mount Antenna (144-148/430-450 MHz)

I need recommendations for an antenna I have purchased three of them and 2 of them give me an SWR reading of 2.4 and the third gives me a reading of 1.9 the radio manufacturer wants to see 1.5 or less. and recommendations I will heed Thanks

Thank you Guys I got it set up

I guess my problem might be I put it in channel slot 31 instead of modifying ch 30 is That correct?

also I am using a windows laptop

ok guys I have to set the repeater channel to rx 462.725 and Tx on 467.725 with a pl of 141.3 this is a Btech 50X1 Thank you

This chirp software is not dummy old guy friendly I am having a huge issue trying to add a repeater channel that is split tx/ RX with ccts can one give me a step by step how to add the channel? Thank you

the keypad on the mike lights up , the screen lights up but its blank

I just fired this new radio up tonight and low and behold I have a blank screen. My question is do I need to connect to chirp software to make this this work or did I do something wrong during my install?
