Paul,
Yes I have an AC power supply but sometimes, when we are busy, my handheld
disappears.
My desk is wood and so is much of the surrounding office. My concern is
damaging the transmitter of a locally mounted mobile unit with the wrong
antenna.

Chris, UHF or VHF? Is your desk wood, steel, or non-ferrous metal?
Have you considered an AC power supply for the handheld?

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Indoor antenna question
From my desk, I often answer radio calls from our four mobile units
and to do that, I've been using a hand-held radio. Our repeater is
only about 2,000 feet away and that works OK except that the portable
has to be on all the time and eventually, the batteries have to be
replaced.
What I'd like to do is to mount a mobile radio - with appropriate DC
power - on or near my desk. We have several extra Kenwood TK-760s and
I could use one of those, dialed back to 5 or 10 watts.
My question is what kind of antenna to use? I need something that I
can mount under my desk. This is commercial service so the duty cycle
is fairly low. Is there an antenna that would work in this application?
