I am most definitely not a radio guy, so could you please enlighten those like myself which antenna brands you would recommend?

Also will antenna type/dB/low-SWR affect clarity of communication? I don't mean can i send and receive, but the amount of static/noise in the transmission? I've been disappointed that GMRS is not very clear. Better than CB, but not by much. Perhaps that's my antenna? (using a Midland 575, with Midland 6dB antenna).

Thanks for your advice.
Some of the trusted commercial brands are Larsen, Laird, PCTEL, EM Wave and a few others. Brands like Midland and Tram/Browning target the commercial market but their products are way inferior to the real commercial/public service brands.
