I like this Comet antenna: » universal-radio.com/cata ··· 937.htmlYou're not going to see much more than 2.15db gain on 2M on an HT antenna... |

I bought this one: » www.amazon.com/BROWNING- ··· +antennaBrowning BR-180. 3dB gain VHM, 6dB gain UHF. Works great. I also bought the recommended mag mount, which is very strong. |

I have the Diamond SRH-519 » www.universal-radio.com/ ··· 132.htmlSwitched back to the rubber ducky because I bent the Diamond one at the base during a drop. |

I have this on my Kenwood TH-F6. Great antenna. It's 9 times bigger than the radio, though. For mobile applications, I use this guy: » www.universal-radio.com/ ··· 920.htmlHad to get the mag mount and big-connector-do-watchie (name is escaping me at the moment) to SMA pig-tail. It works very, very well. |

I have the above Comet antenna. Other than its obscenely excessive length (ala poke you in the eye with the HT still on your hip!), its a stellar performer. |

I have a Diamond SRH77CA on my ICOM 91A. +6dB gain... » www.rfparts.com/diamond/ ··· 7ca.html |

I don't believe for a second that it achieves 6dB gain... Some claims by these manufacturers are downright fraudulent. |
