Any roof antenna recommendations for GMRS home base would be greatly appreciated. I bought the slim jim antenna made by N9TAX to use with 50 watt wouxun kg1000g radio. I'm just wondering about other options. I just learned about yagi antennas, so I am open to ideas. I have 33 ft lengths of times lmr 240 so I believe I am on the right track.

For anyone interested user mmckenna recommended some great portable car antennas :

I defiantely get something other than that antenna. I use the Laird FG series. They have unity to high gain. The FG4605 is my go to. They are light and work well. Get LMR400 and not the LMR240 and its a good setup.
