Hello /g/
I just bought a baofeng uv-5r yesterday, and saw in reviews that the antenna it came with wasn't that great.
Then I noticed my neighbour has this huge ass antenna (pic related), and wondering whether I could use that as a repeater for my signal instead of buying another antenna.

Will this be doable?

If not, recommend me a great antenna I can screw onto the BaoFeng itself.

I hate people who post vague questions
>what budget
>what distance
>what terrain

I'm terribly sorry. The initial question was about my neighbors antenna. But if I were to be recommended another one, I'd like following specs:

Budget: 15$ tops from AliExpress
Distance: I'd like something that goes 25km
Terrain: Almost only flat, but there's some buildings and smaller hills

Preferebly one that is not too long, or have telescope function, so I can make it smaller when not in use

>>59902244
Guess you don't have recommendations?

im just dropping in to say your forum dialect almost physically hurts me

It ain't about size.To get the most out of reception and transmitting and shit,figure out what frequencies you wanna use and get the appropriate antenna on ebay.
Antennas are probably the most complex part of rf systems,and you shouldn't take it too lightly.

Well I mostly want to recieve some fire department radio communication. How do I know what and it's on?
>>
>>59904280
Google their frequencies or scan until you run into them.They might be using that p25 thing,in which case you probably can't listen in without special equipment.

I just ordered it yesterday, so it haven't come yet. Although I hope it will soon.

But what's your opinion on my neighbors anntenna? Can I use it to boost my own signal on all bands or?
I just got into the hobby less than 24hours ago.
>>
>>59904350
These seem to be the frequences, what do I need? 168.175 and 159.175

>>59904412
Pola?

Damn the fact that the Internet has different dialects is ready cool. Greentext is basically poetry
