I'm looking for a dual band antenna (NMO mount) for a mobile setup. One that will perform well on RX/TX GMRS UHF range but will also receive VHF 160-162 MHz. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

I've used a couple of different antennas with success:


Larsen NMO-2/70SH
Here's the VHF plot:

Here's some more:

1/4 wave VHF tuned for 2 meters (acts as a 3/4 wave on 70CM and has nice low reflected power on GMRS).
