what would be the simple but effective way
i always been told just keep it simple
some have even tried a 102 whip cut down to tune,and they say its a thicker stinger and it hears better.
i asked what about the little thin telephone wire from there down.
they then said will the signal goes out the top of the antenna not the sides
thats when i told them i had to go inside...
I will go with antenna is the problem
them things are good for riding with another driver in front or behind you you bet out of sight then it drops off pretty quick
make sure the RF gain knob dont get confused with RF power knob
make sure the RF Gain knob is all the way to the right

No you wont be able to peg a guy needle with the antenna 50 foot closer
or even with the other antenna or 2 antennas
if you get the Maco V-5000 then put it as high as you can
50 foot would be a great start
1 antenna is all you will need
Maco V-5000
height will help you out alot
if you cant make the trip at 4 and 7 miles then something is wrong somewhere
keep in mind when the noise level goes up you wont ever have anything to cut thru it or even be able to hear them
but 1 antenna a metal antenna
and put it as high as you...
reason for folding each leg in and making 2 legs is to save some space
and so with some further research
even if i did the 4 legs each leg would still need to be the 16 foot and some inches

correct me if im off
and i need to give a little more for tuning or cutting purposes
now say if i measure a leg at 16' if i found the center of that 16 foot leg we...
