Not a good idea Skip. If you transmit the SGC 230 won't know what to do and you'll have an unknown and probably ugly impedance for radio. Unless the Uniden has high SWR protection you can easily fry the transmit finals. The 18" coat hanger idea is better. Go back through your ham radio texts and look up 1/4 wave vertical antennas -- that's what the coat hanger idea is. 73 es sail fast, dave KO4MI S/V Auspicious _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
