Concerning _Antenna_, Kerry Kowalski said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
KK> Mounting the CB & the scanner antenna like you suggest will send yer
KK> cb signal off to the side. Also being 2-3 feet below the top of the
KK> car will reduce the signal both out and in.
Unfortunately, mounting either antenna on top of the car is not an option.
I'm not willing to drill holes in the roof, and I don't trust magnetic mounts
up there. Also, I'm required to take my car into a multi-level parking
structure with fairly low clearance from time to time, and I hate to think
what the bangy bangy is doing to the antenna.
Since there've been no problems so far, I'm considering leaving the CB
antenna where it is in the middle of the trunk, and leaving the scanner
antenna off to the left about two feet away.
... "Bother," said Pooh, as Kerry Kowalski wrought terrible revenge upon him.
