I dunno how good these perform.

We use a simple copper J-pole for our family communications on the MURS Band and I talk right at 12 miles from base to mobile at work w/the wife. Using rat-shack's business band
mobiles on both ends w/4-watts out.I sure like it.No-one round
here using MURS yet. I get a lil skip now and then,but that's it!

Slim,

Not bad. MURS is actually a very good radio service for low power.

I cant use the murs radio's yet in tell the loggers get there talkie tooter frequencies off them otherwise there would be a big accident with logs comming down on loggers

I ran into the centerfire antennas, price is right and 6 db gain is good, seem adequate to me. 3 element should get one 20 plus miles under normal conditions.

Comet makes an antenna called a GP9NC that is dual band VHF/UHF and covers both MURS and GMRS bands. They are a little pricey, but I bet they do a nice job if you get them up nice and high. I'm eventually going to get one and probably replace my discone with it, and put the discone in the attic.

I found the centerfire isnt to good on murs group, the best some say is arrow antenna company who make a heavy duty yagi, j pole or ground plane for murs, cost is around sixty for the yagi, and less for the rest...

I use a MFJ-1764 2 / 6 Meter dual band antenna, weird little antenna but I get a 1:5:1 SWR or better from 143.5 to 151.0 MHZ(48.1 to 55.3on 6 meters).

On MURS ch. 1 and 2 it's 1:7.1, been using a ft-1802 there for 1 1/2 years with no problems.
