First and foremost you need to ascertain if an external aerial can be connected to your particular radio. As for improved reception/output a lot also depends on the capacity (wattage) of your radio. Probably the best solution is a magnetic base placed in the centre of the roof of the vehicle. Saves having to route cables through firewall etc. Added benefit is that you can easily move combination to another vehicle. Any reputable aerial/antenna will do. Check this site G.M.E. Australia

G.Day Meerkat. I have a GME UHF Radio purchased from ARB Moorbank NSW. They fitted me up with an antena on my bull bar. Works fantastic. Check them out..

If the thread title is a question, it is ... aerial.

Meercat,

What is the model number of the Handheld UHF??

If it is the TX6000 then there is a mounting kit for it available through most GME Authorised Dealers. With that kit you can then connect it to an external Aerial mounted on the bull bar and also be able to disconnect for portable use when required.
