Hi all,
I've got an aluminum tool box in the back of my pickup truck. It's the usual type that spans the bed right behind the cab. I'm thinking that it might make a good antenna mounting point. I don't want to drill into the body of the truck, but I wouldn't mind putting a couple holes in the toolbox. I have two questions. The first is: If I mount brackets to the tool box, will I need some sort of ground strap to connect it to the frame of the truck to give me a good ground? The second is: Will I see any real world improvement in performance by using dual antennas? I like the look of the trucks that I see with antennas on each side of the bed box. It's nice for a balanced appearance. I also understand that it's a bit trickier to adjust SWR with dual antennas. I wouldn't be against using one as an antenna and simply using the other one to balance out the look of the truck (although, I guess some folks might think that's silly). Thanks! -NW |
