Eddie

i did a quick rx test between me and Nav with & without the 1/4wave radials ,
the antenna is only 5ft or so off the ground,
its not tuned perfect without the radials & i have not tested vswr with the radials installed,

i had him key multiple times each way to make sure signal readings were stable on 50mhz, they are, i got the same numbers every time

without radials
-89.7dbm snr 13.4db

with radials
-90.2dbm snr 13.3db

so as the vector is setup now at that height & not retuned for the radials im losing .5db @ 4.5miles when i add the radials.
