GMRS radios typically use a BNC Male or UHF Male connector. If you'd prefer not to drill a hole, you can use the LBH3400 Bracket Mount instead. This bracket is screwed into the fender in place of a hole. Another option is to use a magnetic NMO mount for your antenna.3 Feb 2021
Will a 70cm antenna work for GMRS?
Although the band spread is shifted to the upper side of UHF/VHF, you should get adequate performance on both 2m and 70cm amateur bands while optimizing performance operating in the GMRS band.1 Sept 2015
How high can a GMRS antenna be?
§ 95.51 Antenna height. (a) Certain antenna structures used in a GMRS system and that are more than 60.96 m (200 ft) in height, or are lo- cated near or at a public-use airport must be notified to the FAA and reg- istered with the Commission as re- quired by part 17 of this chapter.
Can I use a CB antenna for GMRS?
First take-away here is your current CB antenna is itself of little value for GMRS. The two services use vastly different ranges of frequencies and have different criteria for antennas. There are no ways to practically adapt or modify a CB antenna itself to electrically work so plan on buying or building a new one.3 May 2021
How long is a GMRS antenna?
approximately 38 inches
Does a GMRS repeater have to ID?
Each Station must id after each series of transmissions or 15 minutes of talking using plain english or Morse Code. Repeaters are not required to ID as long as the transmissions are IDed, but not vice versa. § 95.21 GMRS system description.7 Nov 2012

What is a good GMRS base antenna?
GMRS operates at 462 MHz, the commercial area of the UHF band. Most any commercial UHF base antenna will work. If you're looking for an antenna for your home base, they're cheap enough ( 462 MHz Land Mobile (GMRS) J-Pole Antenna | KB9VBR J-Pole Antennas ) or you could build one without too much trouble.GMRS operates at 462 MHz, the commercial area of the UHF band.

Can I use a ham antenna on a GMRS radio?
NO, they are 2 different radio services so you are not generally permitted to do it. Your HAM equipment is not TYPE ACCEPTED by the FCC to be used on the GMRS portion of the radio spectrum.
How does a dual band antenna work?
Dual band antennas have lots of practical uses, especially for mobile devices. These antennas operate on two bands or frequencies (similar to radio stations) and can either work on these different frequencies one at a time or simultaneously, depending on the capabilities of the individual antenna.8 Jun 2011
Can GMRS have detachable antenna?
While the FCC did allow GMRS radios to have detachable aerials, it wasn't legal on FRS walkie talkies, so the combo units simply didn't have them. With few exceptions, serious GMRS operators had to settle for using antennas tuned to a wider range of UHF business frequencies in the 420-480Mhz range.27 Jul 2020
