Tried out the Nagoya NA-771G on my GMRS handheld. It’s a lot longer than the stock antenna, but it actually works. Definitely getting out farther and people say I sound clearer.

It’s supposed to be tuned for GMRS and from what I can tell, it is. SWR looks good.

Only thing—it’s kind of long for carrying around, but for general use it’s solid.

Anyone else using this one?

In this video, we walk step-by-step through converting an existing DMR codeplug from the AnyTone 878UVIIPlus to the AnyTone 890 / Maverick. If you’re upgrading to the 890/Maverick or want to reuse your carefully built 878 codeplug, this guide will save you time and frustration.
We’ll cover:
• Key differences between the 878UVIIPlus and 890/Maverick codeplug formats
• What settings transfer cleanly and what must be adjusted
• Zones, channels, talkgroups, and contacts considerations
• CPS tips to avoid common errors during conversion
• Final checks before writing the codeplug to your radio
This tutorial is ideal for amateur radio
