Check www.firestik.com and read thru their recommendations. Sometimes your antenna just needs to be 'tuned'. Could also be connectors, improper length of cable etc. Might be worth it before you shell out for something else.

What sort of Radio I.E UHF, VHF, 27Mhz or HF. Also what sort of terrane are you going to be operating in? That is more a concern if the radio is UHF.

ill check the kind later but its a 40 channel wal-mart one. it is mainly used for trail conditions
