It is not a problem of 2.4GHz frequency, but try to avoid using Wifi protocol in serious applications, as WiFi is designed for extreme data rate, it gives very little consideration to spectrum efficiency or co-existence with other radios.
Compared to which frequency band to use, coding schemes or some kind of frequency hopping(FHSS) is much more important to achieve the minimum probability of packet loss. Advanced coding schemes usually means higher cost of radio, so at least find a radio with some kind of FHSS implementation can give you much more robust performance.
Unfortunately neither Wifi nor a nordic 2401, as well as a large bundle of RC transmitters in the market, have FHSS feature.
Well, it used to be a two-way tie between Liberty Rock Radio and Vladivostok (since its supposed to be music Niko would relate most to) ... but then they took out Schweine because of licensing crap, so that just leaves LRR.
It's tough for me to choose because I love pretty much every radio station from IV/EFLC, although Tuff Gong Radio, IF99 and Fusion FM are probably the stations I listen to the least, I still enjoy some of their songs. I love The Beat and especially IV's mix but I also love Electro-Choc just as much at times, same goes for Liberty Rock Radio, or LCHC, or Vladivostok FM, or K109 etc.
I think I'll choose DJ Paul's mix on Vladivostok FM, simply because I find this mix to be absolutely perfect. Even though it doesn't really fit on Vladivostok and should've been its own radio station from the start, I find every single song to be bangers and perfectly mixed with one another, so much so that I recreated it for fun.
I will never understand why Rockstar chose to make Bahama Mamas available for a single mission and to lock it down permanently afterward while one of its associated songs is played in Maisonette during the Bus Stop minigame.
Every one of iv's stations offer some incredible music. I honestly don't think I could pick just one. But if I had too I'd say the journey, always loved it ever since I was a kid playing gta 4 for the first time.
I started to forget about The Vibe 98.8 when they added Vice City FM to the main GTA IV and when Radio Downgrader came out, and after that I started to forget about The Vibe 98.8 considering that there is practically no sense in this radio station if the game has Vice City FM whose songs are much better in my opinion.
Vladivostok FM and San Juan Sounds (because that's when I heard Daddy Yankee's Impacto song when I was in Bohan). But I just prefer radio OFF all the time. That's the one thing that annoys me in GTA games, as soon as you start your vehicle the radio is on and I have to turn it off. GTA IV's simple turn off by pressing "X" was fine compared to GTA V's wheel.
The Nagoya NA-771G is definitely a popular choice. I have the 771G for my GMRS HTs and the 771 dual band version for my 2m/70cm HTs. I do notice better reception when using the longer 771/771G antennas versus the stock rubber duck antennas.
I only have Wouxun GMRS HTs now, but I have the Nagoya NA-771G and a NA-701G. I don't find that the shorter 701G adds anything extra to my radios but I like that it is more flexible than the OEM antenna. The longer 771G may be a slight improvement over the OEM in receiving signals on the fringe but not a lot in my experience. I have tried several others that I don't have any longer and don't remember the brands. Seems like I normally end up just using the antenna that came on the radios. But again, different brand radios than what you are asking about so YMMV.
I don't like disagreeing with you, but your statement is both true and false. Radio engineers, at least the ones I have met, do test stock antennas with their designs and write specifications for the "rubber ducky" that provides the best match. Many times this results in one that has to be manufactured to specifications that existing units don't meet. Why else would LMR radios specify different antennas for specific radios operating in the same band? One size doesn't fit all.
The question as stated in the title "What is the best antenna and brand for HT GMRS radio?" So any references to non GMRS radios really don't apply to the question. In support of @Sshannon's statement the cheap GMRS radios like the Baofeng UV-9G come with duel band antennas. They are not specifically tuned for GMRS. Some of my less cheap (as far as GMRS radios are concerned) Wouxun radios came with antennas that are not duel band and at least are stated to be properly set for GMRS frequencies. The Nagoya NA-701G and the NA-771G are better than a stock Baofeng in my experience, the NA-771G may be just sightly better than the stock Wouxun and as mentioned by @WRHS218 I like the flexibility of the NA-701G over the stock rubber ducky.
I bought a Nagoya folding whip ( NA-F30G) for my Baofeng UV-5R GMRS at Amazon and got the original in the original packaging. The folding whip is easy to deal with in the vehicle and transmits OK when folded. I wanted to see if it would improve my reception at my house, which is in a RF black hole! The antenna is 30-inches long unfolded and not for walking around or using in high wind when unfolded because it is very flexible and folds easily.
I've gotten used to that and got a modest 20-30 percent or so in reception which is great quite a difference in clarity. I have two UV-5Rs and had them on the same table out in the patio - that's how I tested it. I can hit the clearest repeater 24 miles from my house but its scratchy at best. Nine miles away it it hits it well.
Thanks everyone..
My GM 15 Beufeng came with an Abree 717 I think it is, but it looks suspiciously like the Ngoya, or whatever they are called. It works reasonably well.. I was able to talk to my buddy about 4.3 miles away thru some buildings and woods in the way partially and even though there was static I could hear him loud and clear and he had the small antenna and said I was coming thru very well!

While there are many excellent guides out there for interview tips (like this one from AAAS), here are some of the interviewee qualities that I found make for an ultimately interesting and effective piece, as well as some of my own tips for how to best tell your story in this medium:
The first point of contact between a radio program and an expert is often the pre-interview, these are a typical way for reporters to discern if the perspective and tone of an expert is the one that the reporter needs for his/her piece.
If so, have I understood correctly it is then necessary to somehow incorporate that simple form into a Dataverse form, which will subsequently be used by the Power Pages form, as per About basic forms - Power Apps Microsoft Learn ?
My mistake was that I hadn't configured the field as a choice field, so your suggestion was just what I needed. The default positioning and spacing of the radio buttons and labels aren't very good (see screenshot), but I'll have a play with the Simple Form Metadata options and the Label and Description of the form field.
Unfortunately not. I started a work contract in April and then had a family illness and bereavement, so I haven't had the opportunity to do any more development in Power Pages. I hope to start again soon.
