GMRS
465MHz
General Mobile Radio Service
Do you need more range to get into a local repeater, or perhaps you need better coverage to reach friends or family?
A beam antenna is just the ticket, and nothing beats a multi-element, lightweight and durable quad.
G4
At 23″ long and weighing less than 2 pounds, the compact G4 is ideal for portable operations, handheld (foxhunt) or fixed base operators. Toss it in your vehicle for improved range and directivity in the field, or mast mount to achieve ultimate coverage from your base rig. Works with any handheld or base/mobile GMRS radio.

Nice SWR across the Entire Band
1:1 Resonance at 464.92MHz on our prototype model
The G4 quad can be handheld for operations out in the field, mounted in a fixed position (pointed towards a desired station) or mounted on a rotating mast. Our U-bolt mount can accommodate a variety of supports from 1″-2″ in diameter.
As a directional antenna, it may be desirable to rotate the antenna.
This can be accomplished by hand (physically turning your mast) or by using a light duty rotator.
While we typically recommend high-quality equipment (such as the Yaesu G-450), a suitable and more budget-minded solution might be a TV antenna rotator, as shown below.
