Hello, i was wondering if any one out there ever had a midland 77-888 and knew of any mods or what it was able to withstand watt wise? or how well it was known or any known information any of you have on it? im thinking of adding talk back to it soon as a little bonus, but opinions? its my...

yeah i was using a piss poor example of an antenna that didnt work on a car and hardly worked as a base station antenna. it was an 500w weather band by some off company. high swr and nothing seemed to fix it. so instead i got a firestick II for my firebird 1.3 on the radio and i have great range...

yeah ive searched many calculators and sights and ways to build them. i have an idea for the use i plan on using it for. but i was just confused with the why do you ground it to your car or the earth, but a dipole is not grounded. but im understanding it now some. thanks

yeah it wasn't for safety it just helped bring the swr from 3.0 to 2.5 with the little ground rod....also that antenna was all kinda of messed up. even on my car the swr was 3.0 till i put a 4' firestick on. then it was 1.3 swr. so the earth was acting like the other half of the antenna. but...
