Not high for a quality antenna.
I get it. Thanks
Here is a $32 four element VHF Yagi antenna that might somewhat work for you.

Discontinued but still in stock according to the website. At that price point, you can buy multiple copies so that you will have spares to install when the antenna fails for whatever reason.
This is why you want to buy a quality antenna (like @buddrousa mentioned) that not only is in the correct frequency range for your application but will also last a long time like that Laird Technologies Model YS1503 that you are looking at. Buy the antenna once for the long run.
