    Multi Side by Side Reflector antennas!!!

    start at 50 in for the director. and yes completely isolated. you will have to adjust the current hot and reflector. one director will show minimal gain. go to 4 to get the best performance. oh and one reflector only. going 3 has been done and is a waste of time with backwards results.

    capacitor bank

    on my 3000 I have under 5 uf of cap. 3 caps in series for 12,000 volt. It's a mobile. 2 alternators, I dont rev up or down. Key it like a dc box and no rectifiers blown. to much cap can be counter productive Oh abosolutly zero noise from anything. box, power supply or in my tx.

    Another good working truck antenna is the immortal. Its shorter then the 10k, it will have more wind stress. Several truckers have used them in this are and have had excellent results. You will need a strong mount. down fall is if the exhaust is just behind the door, you may have tunning issues.
