I actually got a used set of kenwoods. I should have them later this week. The land here is mostly flat but there is houses and trees everywhere. Expect my full report once I have the bugs worked out of them.
I checked at cabellas and couldn't find a single set of murs radios. They must have 40 different radio set but they all seem to be frs and gmrs. Its no wonder murs never took off. All the better for me.
I got my radios now so I'm looking for some advice on antennas. I'm using the 2 154. frequencies listed in the murs band. 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz. I don't know enough about antennas, would a vhf marine band antenna work for murs? The lower end of the marine band frequency is 156.xx, or should I attempt to build a copper pipe jpole? I ordered a better set of rubber duckies but they're 3 weeks out.
Thanks
