What is the difference between our High Gain GMRS Antenna and the GMRS Shadow Antenna? The high gain will get you the maximum range for your radio (about 10+ miles line of sight for the COM-G95) the shadow antenna will likely have the rage of 1/2 (or about 5 miles line of sight for the COM-G95).

I attached this antenna to a Tram 5.5″ magnet mount wired to a new Wouxun KG-1000G GMRS mobile radio. The antenna was sitting on a metal cookie sheet on a table in my garage and the radio powered by a 40 Ah LifePo4 battery. I used a Surecom SW-102 to measure SWR and power. On CH05 I read 6.8 4W with 1.22 SWR. On CH18 I read 52.2 W with 1.64 SWR. The radio is advertised to be 50 W GMRS radio. I compared a similar priced Midland GMRS mobile antenna, same base and got less power by about 2 Watts but the SWR was lower by .2 each channel. I’m buying another The Com antenna for my daughters Midland MXT-275 as mine performed better on hers than her Midland antenna, The Com produced 2 more watts of power and the SWR was still under 1.5 for CH05 and CH18.
