Question, I live in a deed restricted neighborhood so no outside antennas so it leaves me the attic where I have my scanner antenna put up. I am trying to access the MotoTRBO repeater in my area which is about 10 miles away from me and was wondering what type of antenna would I need to make it work the best? Vertical or Yagi antenna? I would think Vertical work best?
I was looking at the Diamond Antenna F-718A vertical antenna in mind I just need to buy the LMR-400 coax with the correct connectors on the ends of the coax. Which is N and Mini U on my XPR 5550 and SMA on my XPR 7550 handheld or I could go with the Comet DS-150S discone antenna if it will work?
