WRUH926 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Have GM-30. Wondering if the Nagoya 15" whip 462Mhz Antenna would have significant advantage in Tx/Rx? I can already reach my local repeater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Sshannon Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I sat in one place at my kitchen table and tested my Faux Nagoya (TID Radio 771 antenna). I’m about 16 miles from a 70cm DMR repeater. 70 cm is close in frequency to GMRS. The nice thing with DMR is that I’m able to see on a computer screen an automated signal strength report as measured by the repeater. With the rubber duck that came on my DMR Radio I was getting reports that my transmissions were received by the repeater as S6 or S7. With the Faux Nagoya I saw consistent S8 reported. So at least in my case there was a measurable difference. One S unit is equivalent to 6 dB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
