There's 100's of brands out there but it depends what application you need it for. Long distance flat ground. Short distance hilly terrain, etc.
Check this thread out as well, might help... http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...ghlight=aerial

I am he, fear me
Scalar is about the best then RFI, GME, Mobile One much of a muchness... DON"T buy any cheap sh1t and Uniden IMHO isn't quite up there with GME etc
Given that all the sets regardless of Brand output the same power the secret to a "good" radio is the Antenna, only the Antenna and nothing but the Antenna. Stick with the best brands, don't bend the co-ax too sharp (no bend radius tighter than about 3 times the thickness) and a good position will see you right.
IMHO the RFI Explorist twin pack is prob the best all round choice. It's an elevated feed ground independant with interchangeable whips depending on what you are doing.
I run 4.5 or 6 dB broom handles on my GME as I want the punch from a good co-linear in the flat WA terrain and change to a Scalar 3 dB rubber whip in the trees. I use a steel 3 dB whip on my Wouxun for short range and convoy comms and Unity steel whip around town
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Sorry for the hijack Bigboss. Just off subject a bit..bit still kinda on topic.
I run a GME 4.5db Elevated Feed setup but keep braking the whip every 6months or so. What's everyone else get out of their whips???

Hmmm, don't know what the issue is. I'm thinking going a solid aerial with just the main sprung base

Whippy fiberglass are known for breaking, but not steel.
