    The reality is, how much range do you really need? Will it make a hill of beans of difference if you can hear some loudmouth saying "Shut up, stupid" for an extra mile???

    I don't get what you are driving at?

    The reality is that one antenna can work and does work better than two.

    A phased antenna array - which two antennas are - doesn't always mean the effectiveness of the radiation from the system. More things make the system work, the antenna are just a part of it, 1/3 of it.
    Don't know, frankly recieve is the easy part.

    Well depends on the car/trk its goin on..Big trks have alot of fibreglass,glues,insulators that stop a rf bond...So without bonding its gonna suck no matter....
    Either way i would go with the one ant cause the diff in two vs one in re to range is not a big difference....Biggest diff is either front to back or around your car/trk and expence with extra work to maintain...

    That's interesting, I thought the hoods were fiberglass too. Unless these are older trucks.
