2 meter HT antenna

Who makes the best 2 meter ht antenna with the most gain. It's SMA type.

I like this Comet antenna:

You'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- ··· +antenna

Browning 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

Switched 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:

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