Hi...I have a mototola ht1000 uhf walkie talkie. I would like to
install an outdoor antenna on my house to increase my range. Can
someone please advise me to a site or any other info that could help
me out? It currently has a small rubber antenna on it that I would
like to improve on when Im home....Thank You.....


pretty easy. just buy a beam and some cable, or a vertical / cable setup
from a vendor. it's pretty much plug and play.

if you want to build your own, there are some cool things you can do.

cable *does* matter at UHF. most coax is very lossy.

i'd suggest a stack of long boom Yagis on a 300 foot tower. ;-
