I'm not sure that trying to use a mobile antenna for your base will be beneficial. I'm using a B-Square Engineering J-pole on the top of 20' of TV mast, and it is giving me very satisfactory performance.

That looks like a good antenna for the money--very high gain!!
I've got one of the Arrow open-stub J-poles on my house:

I like the FT-2800M as well, but got an FT-8100 at a hamfest to use for dual-band (we have a local IRLP node on 0.70m)
We appreciate your support.
