    Its a guide,relax ridge...Its all we got till ya take out a field strength meter and stand a half mile away with no obstructions in all directions to get a mapped out pattern..BUT how many are gonna do that..

    Yeah I know it is a guide but there are two patterns that don't fit there.

    Half mile away? Really?

    It isn't an AM radio station Craig, need only a few hundred feet and that's all.

    Further away will be a lil more accurate but yeah it can be mapped in less.

    Naw, you can do it within 300 feet or a little less, see you don't need 1000 watts, one or a few watts is all that is needed for it to be mapped out, the key to it is to set up the parameter so you stay the same distance.

    It only takes 5 minutes to weld it shut and an hour to prep and spray it.

    Phsst. That costs money. Cell phone antenna in it's place and add the cost into the selling price as an extra "feature". :D

    I knew you could do it in alot less but assumed a bigger distence would give you a more exact mapping..As for power didnt think signal pattern would change other than being stronger close up.

    If it's a pickup, stick the proper rubber plug in it and forget about it.
