I haven't fired up EZNEC yet, but I was wondering how a standard 3dBi
marine whip would perform on the 2m ham bands. Since the marine
frequencies are 156.050-157.425 MHz, what could I expect at 144-148 MHz?

If it won't cut it, then does anyone have any recommendations for a
dual-band antenna (commercial or home-built)?

Low antenna efficiency coupled with a transmission line mismatch made for
poor performance from these antennas.

At one time I have seen available 2 m / 70 cm dual band
antennas in a Marine mount but I have not been able to locate one
recently.
