Did it come with the tiny mag-mount antenna?  If so, that antenna works surprisingly well IF you can mount it on the roof of your vehicle.  If you are mounting the antenna anywhere else the larger MXTA26 works great - Yesterday was at Fremont Peak Rd near Hwy 395 in So.Cal, and was talking to a guy on his mobile radio on a hill above Silverwood Lake in So. Cal, exactly 63 miles away, and he was coming in loud and clear.

You could use any "UHF" antenna, but you would have to cut/trim/tune it before you use it. If you buy a "GMRS" antenna like the MXTA26, you just take it out of the sack and put it on your car, no need for tuning or cutting.

Surprisingly, the Midland antennae and magmounts are not too shabby. They even improved on the quality of the PL259 for the magmounts.
