[Antennas] Proximity of Antennae On Top Of Car??

[cboone@earthlink.net]

The coupler is band/freq dependant....a coupler for 800MHz will not
work on 2mtrs....the coupler MUST be of sufficient size to present
a low enough Z to the opposite side of the box...( at least in the
Larsens...others that use High Z coupling, I avoid like the plague!)

The dualband coupler for the Larsen KG2/70 is actually the same one
they sell for the 2mtr version...it works fine on 440 as well..but the
KG-440 single band model has a SMALLER coupler box...for UHF, thats
all thats needed...(and forget getting one for 6mtrs!!! :)
