Rabbi..For ####n giggles what if i put a short shaft on the bottom of a duel coiled predator but had a longer spacer made to seperate the top n bottom coils further apart..Would that be anywhere near seen by the ant as counterpoise..

Another off the cuff idea is to wrap the base shaft(22") with braded strap then heat shrinked it in place,would that be seen by an ant as counterpoise?

 

No and no

 

However, you could do what Neverready did

 

What did never ready do?
Those ideas i tossed at ya were just idol thinkin kinda what if thoughts..lol didnt expect an abrupt "no and no"..Lol..

 

He made a simple dipole

 

He posted a picture in the same thread and you saw the picture

 

Can the counterpoise antenna be on a seperate antenna mount and does it have to be a particular length to be effective?

 

not seeing what's being accomplished there at all... lots of desperation going on with these crapcadia trucks that's for sure !!!

 

I guess you didn't see the tunable ground element in the picture

 

you would have to explain to me whats really being accomplished doing that does the radio receive 10 more miles ??? craig is looking for his radio to receive better the 955 im talking about. mark has the part $50 just for that reason. and mark says some people want to cry about the $50 if it does not work receive better mark would not sell it....we both know that...mark does not blow smoke up people's butt....he tells you the way it is...like it or not......
