VHF/UHF antenna on a motorcycle
 

From: Tom on Fri, Aug 18 2006 3:02 am

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 ?

Try contacting your local PD radio repair place.

Motorcycle police have been using VHF-UHF radios on their
motors for over 40 years. Successfully. They must be
doing something right, yes? :-)

Quod erat demonstrandum.

Talk to your local two way radio supplier/service company about a
"ground independant" antenna.
