My wife purchased me a New GMRS/MURS Base antenna at Christmas 2022 & I just got it installed on a 30ft mast pipe last week. I can hit repeaters about 30 miles away It's a HARVEST GP1443L antenna. The only weird part was trying to actually connect the PL-259 Connector to the SO-239 connector on the bottom of the antenna. There are Zero Instructions just a spec sheet with the antenna which is rated at 300 watts & weighs less than 2lbs. I am very pleased with it so far. It hears & transmits very well it appears & I'm using around 30 watts of output with a 1.2.1 SWR.

This antenna is advertised to work 144-148 MHz/440-450Mh . Are you saying it works on 151 – 154 MHz and 462 MHz-467 MHz?
I bought something about 5 years ago all I remember it had 333 in the model number, it works fantastic on 144- 148 220 and 440 also its about 15 feet tall,weights almost nothing, but it works great I would recommend this antenna to anyone looking for an antenna in these frequency ranges

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
