Gday,

I've decided on buying a GME TX 3220 UHF but now have a dilemma in choosing an antenna.

I was recommended a 6db (2.1 metre) antenna by the shop assistant today and also looked at a 4.5db (1.2 metre) antenna - both GME's.

I will be operating mainly in flat areas around SA so understand that the 6db will give me best range - only problem being is that the thing is massive - 2.1 metres! I'm basically after something that will be good for convoy work and possibly get me heard when camping in the more remote areas of SA.

The 4.5 db is a much more workable size at 1.2m so i'm curious as to how much reception i could expect to lose if i went with the 4.5db?...

If it were you buying it would you go the 6db or the 4.5db? It's going on an 03 Hilux.

Cheers guys, any opinions would be a massive help as i'm certainly no expert in this field.
