Ouch on the antenna. First Mid air collision with the antenna ? Animals are not good expecially when you got squirrls like what i got here that wants to get on the tower .
I had the antenna sense Feb and it was not being used and i figured what the heck i might try it and see if it would work before i do that i would ask to see if it is recommended .
BUTTFUZZ Thanks . All I am going to run is 5 watts and VX-8R should be in Monday according to UPS and my license well maybe next friday on the database .
the reason that i asked was i had it for the scanner and was thinking if i could use it to talk on it or it would be better just to listen on it and not hit the power to it ?

I know that some cars and trucks computers are kind of pickey do that on a new Chevy truck that they are running 4 to 8 computers in there. sense it's a 2006 it shouldn't be a problem it's just the newer ones that you have to watch out for .
I was listening to my scanner on the ham and railroad bands ( I'm a railfan also.)and i was hearing a repeater on the frequency 29.6200 comming from NJ .
Is it common to hear the 10 meters like over a 1000 miles away from the source ?
