0 WRUE951 Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago I talk 90 miles with a J-Pole for a remote portable repeater mounted on a fibergalss RV. Just as good as my Midland whip mounted on my truck roof.. Performace wise and depending on they type of no ground plane antenna, there is no difference.. Some no-ground plane antennas peerform pretty bad, just as some ground plane whip... Do some research on your antenna choice and see if you can get some perfoamce tips Quote
