Does what it says in antennas

I installed this antenna back in the middle of my tundra and had a strong RF signal near repeaters and everyone within 10 miles of an area with lots of green trees and some small hills. drove 60 mph with no problems, it's made for UHF and VHF 6 meters, will probably have bad SWR, peel off the paint, put a 3 meter sticker on a clean spot, then put the antenna on it, press on the pad. Pretty tricky, just two fingers stretching the wire, you can hit the repeaters 30 miles away or more with the 8-watt Baofeng UV-5R. Make sure you get an amateur radio license. First, you can pay and get FRS license for whole family for $70, and you can use it on many gsmr channels you need to pay. There are also 5 walkie-talkie channels you can use it on, although the power is a bit high, all this information is on the net. Good luck, it's KL5GI 73.
