The most important thing to determine is what frequency ranges (MHz) your radio is designed and programmed to operate at. If you didn't program your radio, try asking whoever is responsible for maintaining, issuing, programming or coordinating radios and/or frequencies for you. The frequency will be in a numeric format with 4 decimal places like 000.0000 .
Once you have determined what frequencies you use, match that up to the frequency range of the antennas available for your radio. The frequencies you use most should ideally fall into the middle of the range that the antenna is rated for. The middle of the range is where the antenna will perform best.
Example: If your primary frequencies are between 154.0000 - 158.0000, you should be looking at antennas rated for 150.0000 - 160.0000.
Once you have narrowed down your choices to a specific freq range, you will need to decide which length of antenna you want and is appropriate. We typically break these down into 3 sizes. Short/stubby (Less than 4"), Standard (6-8") and long/extended (Greater than 8"). In general, a longer antenna will perform better than a shorter one, but will be more cumbersome. If you are in an area that has good to excellent coverage, a stubby antenna may perform just fine and be more convenient and comfortable when worn than a long antenna. If you operate in an area that has poor, spotty or marginal coverage and/or you may need to transmit extended distances, you may want to put serious consideration into a long antenna. Standard antennas are intended to find a good balance between performance and size.
WARNING: Using and antenna that is specified for the wrong freq range or band can damage your radio.
