WSEF362 Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 I have ham and GMRS radios and wondering what other ham antennas folks have found to work with acceptable results for GMRS. Today I checked my comet GP-9 with my nano VNA and found SWR to be less than 2:1 across the GMRS band. Tomorrow I will test my mobile antenna because inquiring minds need to know. Quote

It looks like you started this same topic twice. It’s a pretty common question. Here’s a recent similar discussion: Quote
0 SvenMarbles Posted December 2, 2025 Posted December 2, 2025 Yep, lots of 440 antennas still have a usable dip into the GMRS region. I actually have the GP9-NC which moves the resonance towards the GMRS side, and the reverse is true, I can also use 440.. AdmiralCochrane 1 Quote
