The little magnet mount unity gain GMRS antenna that came with my Midland has turned into a mass of rust. It worked well enough for what it was, but it now needs replacing. I know the 6 dB whip is better than the 3 dB "ghost", but I'm leaning towards the latter anyway as I figure it would be fine for trail use. But as the 3 dB ghost is actually slightly smaller than my old unity gain - I'm a bit dubious. Short antennas tend to be more of a dummy load than an antenna - any experience here?
And where/how do you have it mounted?
