Anyone familiar with Laird Technologies brand antennas for mobile GMRS use?

 

Here's a link to one of them:

Hard to go wrong with Laird. They've been in the LMR business for awhile.

No on the Laird, but here's what I use and it really talks. It's almost double the gain of the one you are looking at.  I have two for my cars, one is GMRS/MURS and the other is GMRS only.

The thing I don't like about the antenna farm, stopped listing things as dBd or dBi.

 

The antenna farm also resales directly off of Tessco for a good portion of their products. LMR antennas you can generally get much better pricing from Tessco or Hutton.

Zap, Thanks for that information.

[JohnE]

IIRC they are 3 and 5 dBd

I have never used the antenna farm that's just what came up when I put in the part #'s

I get most of my stuff through manufactures or Tessco

Thanks, JohnE.

I just received my Laird BB4503 for GMRS. (all black version, B4503 is stainless look). I found it on Sears website after a search. $33 bucks, shipping included. NMO mount. They shipped it through a third party but who cares? Tuning cut lengths were printed on the package.

Thank you.
