Hi Tom,

You might want to try an HT antenna, such as the RH77CA - about 38 CM
long.

Hello all ,

I would like to install a VHF-UHF antenna on my motorcycle . It's a
Suzuki
GSX750 . I did some tests with a Diamond NR-770H and it works well . The
only problem is that the antenna is to big for such a bike .
Afterwards i did a test with a Diamond NR-77 . The antenna is about 43 cm
and that's about the size i would like to use .
The problem i have with this antenna is the swr , it's to high .

Anyone an idea how i can solve this problem ?

Many thanks .

Tom
