That should be a Logic Trunked Radio model #8610. 800mhz band 35w LTR only -- no talk around 10 systems, 10 groups. Pretty well worthless for ham use. Requires a trunked system to talk through.

900mhz antenna

Most ham antennas specify gain over 1/4 wave dipole, most commercial antennas specify gain over 1/2 wave dipole. Difference of 3db comparing 1/2 wave to 1/4 wave. Therefore ham 9 dbd (1/4wave) = commercial 6 dbd (1/2 wave). I would recommend grounded (top) antenna configuration if it is much taller ...
