WRZA235 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Posted October 23, 2023 Can you use the HYS-771N FOR GMRS? I think I might of bought the wrong kind. THANKS Quote
0 OffRoaderX Posted October 23, 2023 Report 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
0 WRXB215 Posted October 23, 2023 Report 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
