    Antenna Question

    I suspect I know the answer, but I kinda flunked RF theory.. I've got a W800 and an RFXCOM. Both obviously have an antenna. How closely can I mount them together? I'm thinking a couple of inches would be fine, since neither of them are transmitting, but I though I'd be best to check.

    Thanks.

    gmitch64,

    If you use 1/4 wavelength for spacing of the lowest frequency antenna in the group. at 310mhz that length is 9.5 inches. Anything greater than that should be ok.

      Guess there was a reason I flunked... I'd have just placed them a couple of inches apart and called it good... I'll need to have a think on how (and where) to place them.


      Thanks

        Antenna Question

        Anyone have an approximate idea of the length of the whip antenna on the Smoky and the Bandit T/A and secondly where to buy one? Would want the magnetic base so I can get it in and out of the garage.

        Thanks in advance for the info.
