man, how you chose signal frequency to input into the SWR meter?

0:53 An antenna itself cannot increase power. It can increase directionality which can extend its range, but the antenna does not create more power. Power comes from the radio not the antenna. The higher gain antenna concentrates the RF signal to a narrower degree angle; a good example is a Yagi. With antenna charts and antenna software we see many benefits of what gain provides. Because its RF signal is a more concentrated degree angle than a lower gain antenna the higher gain antenna will reach further than an omni directional lower gain antenna. Think of a Maglite flashlight, twist its head it concentrates the light to a narrower beam reaching further however, the opened all the way or closed to a tight beam the light output remains the same. Choose your antenna wisely. High gain will be much better on long open roads, across the flats, areas with minimal obstructions, and the like. In cities, urban areas, woodlands, forests, and the like, high gain antenna does not perform as well as a low gain antenna. In those locations folks switching from a high gain antenna to a low gain experienced considerably better Tx and Rx. Again, antenna does not increase RF power, the transceiver's power is set. The antenna directionally concentrates the RF signal to a narrower angle helping it reach farther. Higher gain more directional more distance, lower gain more spread out less distance. Again, the power coming from the transceiver to the antenna is the same.

This is the best video I have found very informative

Thank you for this great comparison video. Well done.

Why dont the impedence show on uhf

Three years later and this video is really helping new GMRS guys get started and be successful understanding in GMRS fun , so many UA-cam radio guys just want to review the latest transceivers . I was measuring and setting my SWR on a mobile radio today , and I could not figure out why I could not get less than a 1.7 SWR . I watched your video and now I know that 1.7 is the exact dbi loss of signal from my 16' of RG 8A/U cable going to my 6db Midland antenna. Thank You for helping me .

Thank you! A very nice presentation.

Thank you, It has been very useful to me. Blessings.

You, as most people, say what SWR is and how it's measured, but do not mention the fact that standing waves that are reflected are not lost power. These waves continue back and forth until they are eventually radiated. This happens millions of times per second.

IF YOU CANT GET one radio right why take on three family service and G M R S shair the 22 channels channels 1 through ch 14 are family service radio no licensee needed power out put is limited to 1/2 watt F C C rules and reg's G M R S is 5 watts and shear channels 15 through 22 as off repeater channels G M R S channels are the same channels but this set are repeater capable of you where to get on these channels you will trip the repeater but get in to the repeater I am a licensee holder for G M R S radio

I was having trouble with my new set of midland radios till I saw this helpful video.... Thank You

Super useful tutorial. I’ve only ever used talkies while camping and never understood what other functionality they had. Walks you through all the functions and menus without any hassle. Thanks for the video.

SORRY there IS only one power setting for G M R S that is 5 watts for that radio and I run 45 watts on base radio

what you have is a 1/2 of a watt child locater and that is it one mile and your done.

rember this is a four old radio radios in 2024 are 1/2 of a watt for family service with all the privecy codes which are not privet thay just lock up the radio so no one can talk to you as your radio are coded but thay can still hear you. I Owen rugged radio's they have no privet codes just 5 watts going in to a repeater at 60 watts then back out on second channel just trying to help.

comon realy a three year old radio rules have changed and new radio's have come out to replace them ok here we go. by the way I am licensed for G M R S my radio is also F R S.

please don't mix in the codes with the channels there are only 22 channels in F R S land then you say privecy channels and thay are not privet your two radio's will seak out each other be couse thay share the same code every one can hear you just not talk to you and why talk about a radio that is four years old thing's have changed may not even being sold anymore

and let's not for get you really have a low power F R S radio rated at 1/2 watt and 1/4 of a mile range do to power and the antenna as mandated by the F C C radio service KNOW if you bought a C D ROM down loaded it in a conputer hucked up the radio to computer in staled the tower in put tone received your license call sign then you and I can talk to each other.

I have said it over and over the radio runs on a 1/2 watt transmiter and has a quter mile range take to plates the plates represent 1/4 mile if one plate does not over lap the other you are out of range I am W R X N 824 from minnesota.

So how can I talk using (FRS) BF888S and (GMRS) UV9G?

What am I looking for that would signify it’s bad? Too high Ohms?

Best video on the subject I’ve seen!!

Is there a lockout feature on this light?

Great information. Thanks for sharing and also for putting up a webpage with the charts that you use.

Best explanation for on the GMRS waivers/conditions I have found.

link to the chart?

Ahh I see now why many radio operators damage there Nano meter

thank you so much this was incredibly helpful information you have no idea

what was your range test at

sorry pal G M R S has two different power 5WATT on hand held's and 45 watt on base

G M R S is 5 watts on portable and my base is 45 watts and requires a license for that 35.00 covers all family members and last's 10 years which is on my F C C license and my call sign is W R X N 824. and I talk to Chicago twice a month on a lower link,

HOW DID YOU TUNE THE ANTENNAE

there is no 50 channels in are radio's

Do i need to get a FCC license for a gxt midland radio model gxt1000G

Wjat does all the power high low for?? Im new at all this

Where does the 2.5 multiplier come from?

I have the same antenna and similar set up but I have to keep it much lower because of my HOA... Do you see any issues if my radials extend under my soffit and gutter? They end about 6, inches from the brick on my house. Will this cause any issues?

Instead of Wouxun software, try Chirp Next with KG-UVD1P settings. The freqs won't default back to factory. The 805G GMRS model can be programmed similarly.

Note that the Wouxun KG-805M radio has a channel numbering system that is different from many other MURS radios (e.g. Btech MURS radio). Wouxun's channels 1 and 2 correspond to 154.570 MHz and 154.600 MHz, respectively. On business radios, these channels are known as "Blue Dot" and "Green Dot" channels, respectively, and are more likely to be used by nearby businesses. So it would be more advisable to rotate between channels 3-5 (not 1-3) on this particular model. In contrast, on the Btech MURS radio, the "dot" channels are channels 4 and 5, and rotating between channels 1-3 would make perfect sense.
