GRMS Radio

Can you use a cb antenna with a grms radio?

No. CB is 27mhz. GMRS is 460mhz. Not only will it not work, it will damage the radio because the SWR will be way off.

This is what you want. ..

You do realize that this is a FCC license required band too.

thanks that's the radio that I'm looking at but I was wondering about the antenna. I want to try and find an antenna that looks like my firestik antenna that will work with grms radio. Yes I am willing to spend the 80$ to get my license but I could still use this on my work sites without my license due to company license coverage.

Do you want an antenna for looks or for function?

If that radio has a so259 (Coax plug), you could get a [ham radio] antenna for 440 band. Often these are tunable whips that come a little longer than they need to be, then you trim it to tune it... they usually come with trimming charts.

I don't know it there are fiberglass wound antennas for that band/frequency.
