[Antennas] SGC-237 Antenna Length

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 10:33:21 -0700

Deon,
    Would you describe your mobile installation?  What type of
vehicle, what type of antenna, how far is the antenna from the 237,
and what type and length is the feed line?  I am going to start on my
installation in my truck as soon as I finish my coffee.  Wish me luck.
