My antenna is Midland – MXTA26 MicroMobile® 6DB Gain Whip Antenna – Quadruple Signal Output – 32” Antenna at 20ft above house.
My brother antenna is UAYESOK Fiberglass GMRS Base Antenna (462-467 MHZ), 7.2dBi High Gain UHF GMRS Repeater Antenna also 20ft above house.
We are 30mile apart. I have midlan 15W transmitter and he can hear me just fine.
He has 40 watt transmitter and I can kind of hear him.
I know my antenna is tuned to 1.5swr. I don't know his antenna condition.
Is he picking me up just because his antenna is better or would you be more suspicious of his tuning such that he isn't broadcasting well?
