I bought a Shakespeare. 6db gain. I was not super pleased at $49.99 for an 8 foot wire, maybe a choke coil, and fiberglass with a 1" 14TPI thread and a connector. $280 for the same is astounding. OK, it has cell performance, too. But still...

If you want to spend $280 on a VHF, then get a pair of 4 foot extension poles and a $50 antenna. You want an antenna as high up as you can get it. Just my opinion.
