WROP601 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Hi folks I'm pretty new to GMRS. I just setup a KG-1000G with a Tram 1486 in the attic. Although I can get to shorter distances, I'm losing too much to get to the closest repeater. A friend lives about a mile away from me and can reach the repeater with a magnetic mount car antenna stuck to the top of his AC outside. I have this 5' antenna in my attic but it's not cutting it. We have very few repeater in the area... So, I'm considering plan B. I have an overhang on the edge of my roof, so one consideration is to get a good solid wall bracket. I'd need about a 16-18" standoff. I'd like to hike it up beyond the roof peak at least 10'. Another consideration is to get a roof mount and put it up top. Any recommendations on solid mounts? If I'm going to start poking holes, I'd rather do this once if I can help it. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrci350 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 What kind of coax are you using, and how long is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
