Ok, I'm open to all suggestions. I'm running a Cobra 29 LX w/ Astatic 636L mic on a 12v power supply. 60' of cable to a 20' aluminum mast off a 4' fence. Just clears the roof height. I'd like to stay under 150.00.
My Antenna closest antenna requirements say 59'
I put up a short Workman B100 about 20' high called for 59' of cable at the distance I used. I think my problem is its not a good transmitting antenna at 3' high evn on my 20' pole. My mistake maybe is not getting a desent base antenna
I have added 10' of aluminum mast pole to my antenna, it puts my cable run to radio in almost the exact length as specified. I have looped the cable around the pole 4 times and ty-wrapped so it doesnt swing in the wind ( sort of like the stripe on a barber pole). Receiving has not been affected...
