You like it? It's definitely a possibility in my future lol. Especially for my gf with a totally different yard size

ignore the length of antennas when it comes to VHF and UHF antennas for your vehicle. Manufacturers use coils on these antennas to reduce the size for mobile applications. The length becomes important when you decide to build your own antenna for a given frequency on HF or VHF. Take the Compactenna Scan-3 for example. It is 9 inches, and covers 144, 220, 440, 453, 800 and 900mhz. The inventer uses different coils and things inside to make it work like a longer antenna, but it has a very small form factor. So any comet or Diamond antenna that is designed for VHF and UHF, it doesn't matter the length, only matters to you how long it actually is on your vehicle. Now as far as wavelengths, a half wave has more gain than a quarter wave.... But it will be longer... I hope this makes sense

@@HamRadioConcepts Thank you. It does help and I now have a clear understanding of how antennas work in terms of its length and operation. I am about to purchase the Comet CP-5M (RS730 Lip Mount). With this mount I will need an antenna. I was going to purchase the Comet CA-2X4SRNMO antenna. I think that is a pretty good antenna but do you know of any other shorter mobile antennas specifically that are extremely good with range? is the Diamond SRH770S 2m 70cm Antenna a better and longer range antenna that the Comet CA-2X4SRNMO antenna?

I don't charge anything and I got nothing for this. But if you have an idea for a commercial I'm willing to come to terms for a commercial, I could use the extra money

Not sure

Maybe their antenna was used for the show?

Tram 1159-WB with RG-400 cable. Take care

@@bovineexcrement8635 no, and it doesn't fold over either, huge negative. I run LMR400

@@VE9ASN you run LMR 400 in vehicle, my LMR 195 didn't make it week before it broke. RG-400 is the FAA standard replacement for RG-58. More power, more heat resistant, less likely to break from vibrations, doubling shielded, not as lossing, Tram 1159-WB is taller than your standard 5/8 wave antenna, it's a 6/8 wave no ground plane necessary and it dips twice once in the middle of the ham band and again in the "public safety" part of the band, looks like a W. Now I've gotta look at more comets.

@Bovine Excrement the lmr 400 has been in my vehicle for 4 years, and the 5/8 wave comet is 4 inches taller than the 6/8 wave tram.

Have you seen that I am not a news reporter and I don't really care
