I just recently received my FCC GMRS license. I am new to GMRS and reviewed many radios, purchasing a Radioddity DB20-G mobile unit. I am planning on installing the radio in my truck and was looking at the Midland Micro Mobile Ghost MXTA25 and mounting it to a ditch light bracket; however I currently am using a LT-UT72 19 Inch,VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Super Loading Coil antenna and I am not getting any reception. Any idea on the best antenna to use?
I live on the Southern Tip of Illinois and see that there is a repeater about 50 miles away in Harrisburg, Illinois and a couple repeaters in Western Kentucky. How do I access these repeaters or are they too far away?
Any advice for the GMRS beginner would be greatly appreciated.
