I have the GP6 for my amateur rig. If performs much better on VHF than UHF. Works well for Amateur stuff, but not well for GMRS. I use use the GMRS version of the Comet 712 for use that.

I can perhaps take some screen hots of the VNA this evening and post them if someone does not get them for you before then.

Thanks. Both cut off their claimed performance at the edge of the band. I suspect the X300a would be better, as the dip on the GP6 looked pretty sharp.

GMRS band is tolerable. Not as bad as I recalling.

Good luck.

That really isn't bad at all, actually quite comparable to the commercial UHF antenna I have. Actually looks similar to the Tram1480 I have for my base station. Thanks for the input.

 

 

Anyone have the X300a they could sweep?
