I am new to building a radio system. I am familiar with the theory and use but I'm not with accepted practices.
My goal: Setup my truck with a VHF/UHF radio to operated on all/most of the frequencies available on my radio
My radio: Motorola CM300
My reason: I am an emergency management nut. I am a member of Search and Rescue, Volunteer Fire Fighter, EMT and I want to be able to communicate on mission while POVing with all agencies we potentially will communicate with (Navy, Sheriff, State Patrol, ourselves....)
My radio operates on 136-162 MHz, 146-174 MHz and 438-470 MHz. I've been having a hard time sourcing an antenna that works well on a span with these ranges. Does that mean I will end up with 4 antennas and a quadplexer?
