Need massive help!!!!!!

If you run one antenna and the other as a dummy to keep the look, the split coax will not work and you will need a new one.
Personally I think you will have better luck tuning it that way compaerd to running two antennas. I have only run one on my truck for years.

 

Without a doubt,average is 20 bones and well worth it.
Your dead set on the "Look" of dual antennas whipping in the wind so buy the girlfriend a new power string and she'll love you for it.

 

Not sure where you bought your radio ?
The standard for mail orders from "decent" shops are to ship out "tuned" units.

I dont mess with shops I dont know,I carry acouple spare radio's,mics and antennas to get me back to my area if needed.

Judging by the sound of most radio's I hear
up 81/83 etc pretty well confirms the lack of good wrench's.

The clean radios are always from other States south and west of Pa.(IMO based on personal experience)
