Last night using my TH F6A and a mag mount, I pulled in a repeater that 
is about 100 miles away.  The weather was bad, so maybe that helped?

    What I want to know is, would getting a vertical such as the Diamond 
X200A make a big difference?  Eventaully I want to upgrade the radio, 
perhaps to a TS 2000.  Would this antenna be good with it?  I want to be 
able to use what I get now with later rigs.

    If I get the X200 what else will I need,  Antenna tuner?  Anything else 
to add to my shopping list?  Thanks.

    By the way, I could almost understand the chat on that repeater but 
signal was too weak, much noise.  It was neat tho to even get that much.
