{"product_id":"midland-7-5-db-gain-fiberglass-antenna-b","title":"Midland 7.5 dB Gain Fiberglass GMRS Antenna","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Midland MXAT01VP Grand Vista is a 50-inch fiberglass GMRS whip with 7.5 dB of gain — the highest-gain antenna in Midland's MicroMobile lineup. It runs the 462–468 MHz GMRS band and ships with 19.5 ft of coax, an NMO-style 1\/2-inch-hole mount, and an interchangeable spring base. The spring base lets the tall whip flex back off branches and snap upright again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh gain buys you reach, but it comes with a tradeoff worth knowing. A 7.5 dB antenna pushes a longer, flatter signal toward the horizon, so it carries farther across open ground — highways, desert, plains — than a lower-gain whip. That same flat pattern radiates less straight up and down, so it can shoot over a contact sitting down in a valley or behind a ridge. If most of your driving is hilly or heavily timbered, a 3 dB antenna usually talks better; pick the 7.5 dB when the country opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NMO mount accepts an existing CB cable on a 1\/2-inch hole, so you can swap a CB whip for GMRS without redrilling. It's pre-tuned for the GMRS band — no field tuning required, though an SWR check after install is good practice. Built for Midland MicroMobile GMRS radios; works with any NMO-style mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caside class=\"boondock-bill\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;background:#161719 radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 80% at 82% 28%, rgba(199,93,42,0.22) 0%, transparent 60%);border:1px solid #2D2E31;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#E37545;font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;\"\u003eBoondock Bill's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:18px;align-items:flex-start;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/xgrid-boondock-bill.png?v=1779057958\" alt=\"Boondock Bill\" style=\"width:88px;height:88px;border-radius:50%;flex-shrink:0;border:2px solid #C75D2A;background:#0E0F11;object-fit:cover;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;flex:1;min-width:0;color:rgba(245,247,250,0.85);font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThis here's the long-distance king of the bunch — 7.5 dB throws the farthest signal Midland makes, and on open highway or flat desert nobody in the convoy drops off the back. Now the slick part folks miss: that NMO mount takes your old CB cable on the same 1\/2-inch hole, so you can pull the CB whip and run GMRS without drillin' a new one. And the spring base means when this 50-inch stick catches a low branch, she lays back and pops right up instead of snappin'. Reckon that's the antenna I'd run when the country opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/aside\u003e","brand":"Iceberg Outdoor Group - Supplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832841039955,"sku":"MDLD-MXAT01VP","price":174.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/MXAT01VP-101160_5000x__61145.1714079334.jpg?v=1780067418","url":"https:\/\/www.xgridoutfitters.com\/products\/midland-7-5-db-gain-fiberglass-antenna-b","provider":"XGRiD Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
