I might be able to get ahold of a used Maco 5/8 locally. With the Imax 2000 and maco v5/8 can they be pole mounted? And what exactly does a ground plane do, and do I need one with the imax? Is the ground plane the same thing as radials? Sorry to sound like such an idiot. I hope im not putting...

Thanks for the quick response. I thought I remembered the Antron 99 being more expensive and requiring the ground plane stuff, which is totally over my head. So the Antron99 is pretty much like the PT99 where I just mount it, hook up the PT239 connections, tune it in and I'm set?

I've been looking into putting up a base antenna for a while and I think I've narrowed it down to this PT99. From what I understand it requires no ground planes, is this true? The biggest reason I'm leaning towards this antenna is the price ($59) and ease of installation. I could probably make...

Thanks for all the replies, I never knew how much math was involved, holy moly. I havent gotten around to doing the base station yet, but I did buy a single coax and put the 102" on my truck. I could not find any RG-8 but I did find RG-58. Its 18'. I did'nt think the 14' would reach to where...

The base station will be in a Double wide mobile home, if that makes any difference. Would I be better off buying one of those 18'6" base station antennas off of ebay, or somewhere? Im not too familiar with actual base stations, just mobiles with the power converters in quarry...

Thanks. I figured the 102" would work better on the truck than the dual 4 footers. But can I use the single 102" with my dual coax? And just leave one end unplugged and taped up?

Hello, i'm new here. I have a Uniden Pc68XL, 18' (If I remember right) dual rg-58 coax from GI-Joes and dual 4" hotrods mounted on the sides of a toolbox in the bed of my 76 F250. It puts out and recieves quite well right now. I bought a 102" SS whip for cheap to use as a base station, along...
