VHF antenna amplifier?
Is it legal? Guessing it's not I'm looking for better range, not the ability to over talk coast guard.
Does it really help for off shore radio transmitting?
Any recommendations of brand, if the above questions are approved?
I know the standard vhf radios are 25 watt. I'm also guessing height of antenna has a lot to do with radio contact.
I am looking at the standard horizon GX1700 or the Icom m424 with a high grade 8' antenna to go on top of my T-Top. I am open to other radio recommendations.
Thanks in advanced.
