I purchased a Comet BNC-W100RX antenna. It is telescopic (about 39 inches fully extended), double-jointed (it will fold down alongside my BC125AT) antenna that I have been using to listen to:
121.5 air emergency
156.8 marine emergency
NOAA weather radio (roughly 162 MHz)
GMRS 462-465
and the results have been acceptable so far, but . . .
Since the antenna can be adjusted in length . . . any suggestions for setting the length for optimal reception?
Yes, I realize these are different frequencies. Is there a particular length that could be a happy compromise?
Maybe there isn't any, but I thought it might be worth asking.
