picked up a gme radio off a mate the other day....i dont have an aeirel for the little sucker yet and i was wondering what db would be a good allrounder... and what are the differnce between the db (advantages/disadvatages).... does height of the aeirel have mcuh to do with sound quality/range etc.??????
any help would be awesome!!
Cheers

Probably better off posting in Auto Electrical... Depends really on what type of terrain you normally find yourself in.
Height of the aeriel has no impact at all on your transmitting /. receiving distance.
A higher gain aerial transmits/receives more like an oval shape so is better suited to flatter tarrain, whereas a lower gain aeriel transmits/receives more like a water melon shape so it is better suited to mountenous terrain if that makes sense.
A good allrounder is something like a 4.5db spring base (assuming you are mounting on a bull bar) independantly earthed GME which will cost you around $100
