I purchased my Bearcat BC75XLT 01/11/2014 and I am trying to learn how to use it.
I built the "Off-Center Fed Dipole"
"http://wiki.radioreference.com/index...ter_Fed_Dipole"
Using 48" & 18" PCV pipe wrapped with Aluminum Foil (48" up) and Radio Shack #15-1140 reception was good.
I then switched out the 48" with another 18" reception was not as good.
I would like to build 48" & 18" using copper pipe for my perament antenna.
Can I use 1/2" pipe or do I need to use 3/4" pipe?
Do I need to paint it?
I just want a good antenna to scan the following:
151.43000,152.99000,153.53000,154.17500,154.20500,154.31000,154.78500,154.99500,155.05500,155.13000,155.14500,155.24250,155.34000,155.89500,155.94000,158.13000,159.85500,160.02000.
Any help and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
