I will be getting a Yaesu FT 2800M in the next few days, and am really looking forward to using it instead of my little HT. I do have one problem however...
I live in an apartment building and I spoke with my landlord about putting up some kind of antenna on the building and he flat out told me "no way." I don't see what the big deal is, it's not like the building is a work of art (it's more like a piece of crap, but anyway) so an antenna would only improve the appearance of it LOL.
So, I guess my question is...what would be a good antenna to use indoors? Should I just get a mag mount antenna and slap it on a cookie sheet or find a more suitable j-pole or discone antenna to use indoors?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
