Hey all, I recently purchased a slim jim dual band antenna from n9tax after reading alot of good reviews. It came in today and so I hooked it up to my icom ic-f621 and it is performing worse than my yeasu ft60r with the rubber duck antenna. I haven't gotten into any repeaters further than a few miles away on 45 watts.
Now onto my question, I had some coax in a box in the attic for several years, and pulled it out today to use with this antenna. It was in knots, i unwound it, strung it out and hooked it up to the antenna mentioned previously. Could the problem be the coax? Maybe the antenna, or maybe something else entirely? (yes i triple checked frequency and tone settings). Thanks.
