I'm asking because I live in a self-built solar powered home...
I don't want to overload
my power inverters with my other appliances...LOL...
In House AC Current How many watts would a Cobra 2000 GTL Base
Pull from your wall?

If 90% of our Driving is around town below 50 mph
would this support a 5 foot antenna
with a medium Antenna spring?
I Plan on using this with an old GE Handheld Model
With the PL-259 adapter Listed in the Manual here
the radio and adapter end will be inside the car of course LOL...
Would Duals be of no use on a 4-wheeler/ATV then???
I Imagine in a Suviavial situation like this you would want the full
circle of coverage 1 antenna provides right???
1.) Will Dual Antennas increase your recieve???
Will you be able to hear Farther???
2.) If they did would it be
Such a small it mount that it would not be noticable?
This setup is for my lawn mower it would be grounded to that
would it work???
Looking for something to do mowing while the lawn
as I mow 37 acres... LOL with only a 46 inch deck lawn tractor
Would I get anymore range with a hand held hooked to a FireStik???
When My adapter Comes in the Mail Would a 5 ft Fire Stick get me more range on a Handheld to keep it still some what portable??? Hooked up with one foot of coax
I found the adapter I need to use my antron-99
It is on the Way!!!

Would the range on this be line of sight???
The Rubber Ducky Antenna on it is About 9 and 1/2 half Inches.
I asked for a estimated Tower Height to Achive this in the OP
That was under #2 As I numbered my questions LOL
I'm guessing 60 Feet
with Antron at stock 4 watts using Old Midland 76-300 base station radio
Do I even have a chance on a clear day
or only if skip is rolling??????? LOL
Right Channel Radios says the Antron will go up to 50 miles in their Quick Overview
1.) How truthful should I believe this to be?
2.) How High of a Tower at a minimum would I need to acompplish this?
3.) Would Roof Mounted acompplish this?
