WRZA235 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Can you use the HYS-771N FOR GMRS? I think I might of bought the wrong kind. THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 OffRoaderX Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 You COULD, but it would not function optimally because it's not made for/tuned for the 462-467Mhz range of GMRS. If you bought this specifically to use with your GMRS radio then yah, you bought the wrong kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRXB215 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 As @OffRoaderX said it isn't optimal. I have an Abbree 771 UHF/VHF and an Abbree 771 GMRS. The both work for GMRS but I haven't tested them with a meter to see the SWR difference. They are in fact slightly different in length but it doesn't take much to make a significant difference. That being said, the HYS-771N supposedly covers 136-174Mhz/400-470Mh with center frequencies being 144/430MHz. So, going up to 470 covers GMRS but it is up at the top of the range. Also it is still a dual band antenna which will not be as well tuned as an antenna tuned specifically for GMRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
