pretty easy. just buy a beam and some cable, or a vertical / cable setup
from a vendor. it's pretty much plug and play.

if you want to build your own, there are some cool things you can do.

cable *does* matter at UHF. most coax is very lossy.

i'd suggest a stack of long boom Yagis on a 300 foot tower. ;-

If this is a business service radio, I'd imagine most Motorola or
business radio dealers would have a "base station" type of antenna you
could hook to the walkie talkie with the proper cable and connector.

Ht 1000 handhelds (not to be confused with the
Mt-1000/ht-600) uses a SMA connector to its rubber
duck antenns. therefore, get a sma male to a BNC
male, (or other standard fitting) for an adaptor!
The MT1000, and HT 600 series has a adaptor
available from motorola. As info, Jim NN7K

OOPS , tis a SMA FEMALE connector you want! (this
also works for signal generator/wattmeter) to a
( BNC/or UHF) adaptor ! About $10 bux for high
quality, but maybe cheaper for the nickel plated
variety -- Jim
