Gains with Marginal Height Improvement?

[emsflyer84]

Hey all, just curious if you think it would be worth upgrading my antenna for more height. I'm running a Diamond X50C2 which is 5.6' tall. I'm basically maxed out with my mount as far as just raising this antenna and I'm already reduced my signal loss as much as possible with the shortest coax run I can manager, etc. Wondering if a different / taller antenna would be beneficial if it can only be marginally taller (within a couple feet). Thoughts on this? Should I just ride it out with the antenna I have? Thanks.

Height is always king for reception. Are you above the highest peak of your house? Big hills next to you?

Taller with everything else the same usually means more gain at the horizon.

What freq are you trying to receive? And what type/brand coax are you using
