| Feb 25, 2019 at 20:04 | comment | added | Danny | @tomnexus : I have a second handheld unit, but that is it. Both are Baofeng GT-3TP Mark III. I am researching the circuit that is outlined in the answer below, what are your thoughts on that? | |

I ask because without access to real test gear, the best thing is probably to use the receiver you already have, to compare your different antennas. Making something accurate for 150 MHz will not be simple. | |

| Feb 24, 2019 at 23:54 | comment | added | vicatcu | You could run the receiver antenna output into a 50-ohm 2W resistor to ground and measure the RMS power dissipated in the resistor. I could be way wrong, which is why I am commenting rather than answering. | |
