I obtained a mobile set-up mounted on a plywood board with such an antenna (UHF). However I did not get the opportunity to test the radio setup before it was taken out of service.
>From what I know though, it operated for a couple of years that way cant say how effectively, though. Id have to dig through the junk pile to find out which mobile radio it was that was even on the setup now... I'm thinking it was a Mitrek. All I remember for certain was that it was a Motorola, and it was interconnected to a PAC-RT. A "poor mans repeater" maybe??

Has anyone ever used a handheld whip antenna for their mobile radio used as a base? I've seen this setup used a few places, and it worked great, but it was on UHF. A simple 90 degree Mini-UHF to BNC-F, BNC-M on the antenna. I tried this (on our VHF Radio) and it seems to either shut-down the radio or barely get any signal out. Is there any secret to this or a certain antenna type that needs to be used? ie. Base-loaded or Helical Whip. Thanks for any input! ________________________________________ YAHOO!
