to use dual antennas you need a cophased antenna coax, Could be purchased at
Copper.com or at most Real truck stops.

cophasing just creats a more equal radiation pattern



cophased patter,
dont let someone fool you that its directional, You need more equipment and more spacing for Directional phasing.

oh i was just showing you the radiation pattern you will get with one vs two, your car becomes the directing element for your antenna.

yeah see thats what I was trying to show you in the photo its not true, to get a true forward and back you need to be I think a full quarter wave appart 8ft it may even be half wave and that would be 18ft duals on a car is more omni

Pretty much yes, If your looking to talk around but if your driving in a convoy or off-roading on a trail its not so bad, You gain rejection of other signals such as jerk ***** trying to mess with you

Yeah some people tend to have there heads far up there rectum. I was driving the 14 just said hi and they decided to instantly talk garbage just for saying hi as I was traveling up north. Some CB'ers not as many as there used to be take the game to serious that if you dont have a big expensive radio pushing a kilowatt of power you dont deserve to be on the radio.

Then a few weeks back you talk to some that help you with traffic, Some just dont have any respect.

The trash is another reason I have started collecting my ham radios, I have a 2meter mobile 1 hand held and two 70cm hand held. I wont ditch cb but I want to get my license. I do enjoy listening to them all. I find it to be more fun than the net.

Yeah, i enjoyed sitting up in the loft with him, and listening to him talk to people from really far away. And HAM, since you ahve to have a lisence, its more regulated, so not as much crap.
