Ant. Question for the board !!!!
« on: December 27, 2005, 09:38:11 PM »
Well my magnetic mount Radio Shack antenna(the last 2 as a matter of fact) has not taken to my driving conditions(80 MPH MAX) the frigging antenna has to be rescrewed on the mount every 10 minutes but as of late the thing almost left the roof a few times. I am thinking of replacing it with that Cellular Lookalike Antenna that Radio Shack has to offer. What would the board do ????? HELP I need to hear ARTCC whild driving in mty car :(  :?  :?: Plus my reception hasn't been as lenghty in catching weak signals as of late. Has the conditions of the atnosphere changed as of late(sunspots et. al.)

I use something that looks exactly like this for both my scanner and CB (not sure if it's the same, my buddy gave it to me):

Has a great rubber boot that doesn't scratch like the damn Radio Shack one, and that thing isn't going anywhere once it's on the roof.




I have also had terrible reception as of late with my feed, one afternoon I just started picking up a ridiculous amount of interference on a couple of frequencies, not sure what's up.
