    Digital Voice quality

    It's the streaming degrading the quality, not an issue with P25 or DMR. I've heard a DMR system I use over an internet stream, and it was no where near the quality delivered to my radio. Streamers are mostly using consumer grade scanners and PCs to provide the feed, not necessarily of high...

    “GMRS” vs. “UHF” Antennas

    A good quality 1/4 wave with a thick whip will give you a usaeable match on 70cm ham and GMRS. Comtelco, Laird, Larsen, or other quality commercial grade at 1/4 wave will give you about 100mhz of useable performace. Caveat>> Properly mounted over a flat ground plane.

    VHF Disguised Antenna Question.

    If you are only going to receive, OK, but, every compromise antenna I've ever come across ended up in the scrap metal bin. Radio isn't a place for form over function.

    Space Shuttle count? "700 miles downrange" call and I was hearing them on a handheld.
