my favorite is my 5 foot skipshooter ..also used wilson silverloads which i like equally well..and firesticks which i thought were ok. most times my skipshooter works as good or better than my wilson 5000 magount and wilson 5000 trucker.if ya on a budget and not running alot of power skipshooter...
i got same antenna ,.had it up since 2009 great antenna..wrote a review on copper electronics.com.where i got mine , they also carry the maco and everything ya want
should have never cut the 102-108 whip. its a perfect lenth as is..adding a ground wire could help...or could make things worse ..from ya pics you posted id say leave it be
sounds like a good match... but why turn down mic gain on radio.. try leaving mic gain on radio wide open.. then turn up power mic till ya get ya desired level ..half way point ??? maybe
i got the sirio 2016 ..you can easily find them at copperelectronics.com or dnjradio .com.. ive had mine up since 2009 .. reguardless of radial lenth it works well. survided many p.a. ice storms and wing ...great antenna too
i dont know much about putting antennas in tree....but if it were mine id get another mast same lenth ,metal connect them two using u bolts n clamps then mount antenna above it ..if that tree should ever fall ;and they do' ya antenna is gonna get destroyed
just ac question ..in my moble setup wilson 5k mag mount .. i get a reading of R=40-45 and x=0 swr of 1.2 -1.3 ...if i try to improve R then my x rises ..should i let it be
where did mount antenna???? anywhere othere than the roof is gonna be a high swr. with coil below the roofliune..not to mention performance will be hindered if coil is below roofline
i m running a 5 foot skipshooter on the roof of my personal vehicle..works great !! especially where ilive lots of hills and valleys...ive tried most of the fiberglass antennas and this one is by far the best...its only downfall i see is its not as broadband as say a 10k, mr.coily...
i agree with get a skipshooter antenna i run one also.. for ya question ya need rg 59 ,75 ohm coax .. to my best of knowledge this is the only 75 ohm coax.
