Hi I made a 1/4 groundplane antenna for use with my Baofeng GMRS-V1. It is mounted just 8 feet high inside the house. I am able to reach about 2.5 miles with it.
If I replace it with a 1/2 wave, granted the SWR is the same as the 1/4 wave, will it give me a little more reach, lets say 3 miles instead of the 2.5 I get with the quarter wave?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, thanks for your answer...
