I suspect you'd get more bang for your buck by simply
mounting a single antenna in a better location (e.g.
roof mount) and paying attention to making the
antenna's grounding to the chassis/groundplane as
direct and solid as possible.
Cophase being omindirectional? You need to do some more
reading before you try to correct anything.
IF the cophased antennas are less than 1/4 wave apart,
there is virtually no change.
I love it when you make an ass of yourself.
Unfortunatly for you he is correct about cophased antennas
less than 1/4
lambda. What the antennas do is to merge the distorted
wave patterns
of each antenna into one pattern. Each antenna displays a
slightly distorted pattern that favors the side of your
truck that it is mounted on. The two patterns equal one
centered pattern.

Forgive me and my apologies to Dave Platt. This was not meant
