subject: Antenna Mounting

-> I have my Larsen 5/8 over 5/8 GMRS base antenna mounted
-> on the same mast as my Antenna Specialist 5/8 wave CB
-> antenna. A standoff puts it out to one side aprox 1.5ft
-> with the bottom of the 2 antennas at the same height.
-> SWR meter showed no before/after differences, thou I
-> imagine the CB antenna blocks the signal from the GMRS
-> in that particular direction.
Hey Bruce!
Yeah, I moved the scanner antenna and now both seem to operate better.
They are now about 20' away from each other, with the scanner antenna
about 1'-4' below level with the GMRS one.  Better receive and transmit
ability for the GMRS radio.  Glad something works right for once.
