I just picked up the Diamond SRH-77CA antenna for it - man, 440's hopping when I put that puppy on. 2m is improved, but not quite as much. I'm thinking of getting a *proper* 6m/2m antenna - a mobile, perhaps, for base station use, since "rubber duckies" are always poor performers, certainly on 6 and even on 2. My low VHF (<120 MHz) performance, even with the Diamond, isn't spectacular, though I do pretty well on SW RX with the stock duck and a hank of wire hanging off the screw threads (even a couple feet helps, more is better, although you start overloading the receiver at some frequencies so there are diminishing returns). 222 is pretty much a novelty at only 300 mW, though I may eventually go for a dedicated 222 antenna since there are a couple repeaters around here.
