    I had one along with a Wouxoun KG1000 and the receiver on the BTECH was pretty poor. Side by side direct comparison using the same antenna. I would not recommend that BTECH model.

    Yes sir. Sorry, I have not checked in here in quite some time. Finally got my base antenna (Diamond V2000a) that is a tri-bander for 6m, 2m and 73cm and Nano VNA scan shows VSWR 1.4 to 1.3 across all the GMRS freqs. I've got it 30 ft up on a flagpole and been chatting a bit on the Sheraton Dallas repeater.

    That dish post will do a fine job. The below clamps (you'll need two) will work on a post up to 4 inches. I'll be using an old satellite dish post in my yard to erect a 20 to 30 foot mast. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZ7RZK9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    Is this accurate? Why would a base station at my house using a mobile radio not be allowed to use a repeater?

    Thanks KAF6045 I did find the GP-6NC GP-9NC that are dual band and tuned for GMRS so that appears to be the best route for me for when I include 2 meters to my set-up.

    I'm in the same position as WRPH745 where I've got my GRMS license and will be working on getting my ham technician license so I want an antenna that will work on 2 meter, 70cm and GRMS. I am thinking about the Comet GP-9 dual band (no plans for 6 meters). Is this antenna tunable or will it have good SWR for GMRS band out of the box. Anyone else using this antenna for GMRS? Thanks in advance for the input.

    I'd like that when it cools off Rusty.

    I've only had my license for a bit over a week. I've listened with the HTs but have yet to talked to anyone. I just received my Wouxun KG1000 and will be setting it up as a base with a mobile antenna. Rusty, I'd like to learn more about your ham radios that will listen ? to GMRS. I am thinking about studying for my ham license but want to listen to all the bands before I make the leap.

    I'm a newbie as well and in Prosper near Custer and Prosper Trail. I only have a HT at the moment but have a mobile/base ordered. Are there any repeaters we can reach in the area?
