I'm sure it's already out there, but I haven't been able to locate the thread that answers my specific question. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Looking for a VHF specific antenna for an HT1250, particularly for transceiving narrowband between 154.000-158.000 MHz, preferably under 7" and $100. This is a fire radio, so no desire whatsoever for operability on 144/70cm/UHF/800/etc.
For reference:
Compared to my UV-82 with a "sloppily trimmed" Nagoya na-771, the receive on the HT is horrible, and I haven't transmitted enough to speak on its behalf. Side by side, the cheap Chinese radio sings all day while the HT only breaks when repositioned to a better/higher plane. Our terrain is mostly pine woods with some rolling hills (Eastern Texas if anyone is familiar).
Thanks for the help in advance
