Even with a base station using a half wave antenna ( silver rod - 18ft ) and rg8 coax my best range was something like 5 miles on a good day.
Even when using a burner.

Just 5 miles with a big antenna like that seems very low. Do you live at the bottom of a cole mine??

I get better range than that with a 1/2 watt handheld on 70cms.
