Since you’re a cubs fan and I’m a Met fan I thought of skipping this comment 😆 JK! All kidding aside you have two Mobile choices, the Diamond CR8900A made for the 8900R and a similar Chinese variant that is more economical. Base antenna I’m not sure and is not as easy. Maybe a discone? That covers all bands but offers no gain. Hope that helps. 73 . Go Mets ⚾️
Thats a good question actually and the answer varies depending on who you ask. I think I might have to get a little deeper on this topic. Thanks for the comments and 73
Any suggestions on antennas? Mobile and maybe base for this radio?

@@hamradioonthego What is "DX"? NY to PR is like from my home in England to Morocco, and I'd consider that DX.
@@wblue74 great answer! and I tend to ageee with you but some differ and I think this topic is worthy of a further look. 73
But NY and PR are part of the USA. not different countries.
@@Macrosill Correct but does that not make it DX? Interesting questions!
USA to USA DX!👽
Yes PR is a commonwealth but it's in the carribbean!
