spacing ?

[blackjack]

ok here it goes. i know that that 2 antennas have to be 6 feet apart. but the problem i have is that the back antenna is almost to the back of my tailgate. i have like 5 inches left before the end of the camper. is this a problem. i was told you needed so many inches from the edge of the camper. someone help me out. my tech is out of town so i can't get a hiold of him. thanks for any replies.

i might be wrong but here goes. the 6 foot spacing is for when you have one hot and one reflect or "bounceback set up.

9 feet for co-phased.

being a little short on the 6 foot spacing should be ok not sure how that will effect the system or angle of radiation.

im sure someone on here knows.

but if its a problem you could allways make some type of stand off mount that will stick the antenna out a foot or so to get it right at 6 feet.

you could probly modify one of those bumper stand off mounts to work on your camper top.

the thing is i have the 6 foot spacing i was just asking if it was ok for it to be that far back on the camper shell. i have like 5 inches from the base of the mount to the edge of the camper. i think i failed to ask this correctly. hope this helps. thanks fl

hey black im in the same situation you are. I would like to add another antenna to my truck. Right on the tailgate. Its a long bed so i should have enough clearing for the 6 foot spacing. Let me know how yours turns out so i can start mine! Later CDX197

The rear antenna can be as close to the back of the camper as you want it to be.
