Roll up antenna recommendations?

[Bugkiller]

I’m looking for a roll up antenna recommendation for my GMRS  HTs.  
 

Who has used what, with what kind of results?   Good and bad.

I have the N9TAX GMRS/Murs w/16' and BNC connector. Use it on my mobile/Base. I love it. Gets me out to repeaters 30-40 miles distance.

If you need to mount it to a pole, lash it to a 5' driveway marker using zip ties.

Same !!

 

I loved my GMRS Slim Jim so much I purchased one for my 2M/70CM as well.  Great product and great value.

Ask Joe to custom-tune it if you like.  If you are primarily using repeaters, then you may want to stretch your sweep up a bit.  SWR's on mine are on the floor.

Here are plans for a GMRS J-Pole that is about 18" in total length built from a piece of 300 ohm TV twin lead. It can be put into a PVC stub and hidden on the roof as a new vent pipe.
