Cobra 29 LTD Antenna Light - VR6 has No Effect

if your Firestik works good for you, and you get great range, that's awesome. if you ever do decide to try something different my antenna bends to allow me to go in and out of my garage with no problems.. once the I shut the garage door the antenna can stand up straight, so it is not always held at a bent position.... most garages are not as tall as mine.... but I would think once you shut the door the antenna wouldn't be bent at such a terrible angle that would cause damage to your antenna.
so for fun someday, try one and see what a difference having an antenna in the middle of the roof will do for you.... I think it would be a huge difference having a large ground plane of the trucks roof... and if you look at the radiation pattern I posted you will see having it mounted on the bumper will mostly allow you to transmit and receive signals out towards a 45 degree angle from the front of your truck... meaning if you're on the highway you will be transmitting and receiving towards the woods instead of up ahead.. or warning people behind you.
anyway just food for thought, enjoy the hobby

Both y’all are funny.

Dude….. can you READ? I said if the SWR checks out on an external SWR meter then run with it. Then cover the warning led with tape if it gets annoying.

Yeah. I just love it when someone twists my words around to fit their narrative. Much like how the media took DJT’s words and made us think that he said we should drink bleach to get rid of covid.

Heh I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT DOES YET. :-D We will see. How does one determine "range?" I'd think you have to have a willing participant receiving and you drive away (???) I'm looking at local group meetings, might go to one next week and feel things out.

I cringe just at seeing it drag across the rubber door seal in your pics, you're not concerned it's going to slice up the seal? I looked at them, and some roof mounts have springs to assist so we'll see. I totally get the ground plane. I'm going to drive it around for a while as is and will consider a better one later. Heck, I might go full 102" whip with a quick release. BTW it's rear driver's bumper, so I guess it's mostly going to people in the opposite lane. :-D

Anyway we're drifting topic again, as you were!

Shhh! The Ministry of Truth has ears everywhere.

Not difficult to tweak your tail?

It was funny.

Your “serious” comeback (post previous) just as much.

Rewards for the diligent readers.

Too bad. I had it down to being sly.
Gave me a laugh.

Both y’all kinda touchy.

Guess the rest of us need to chip in GoFundMe and get a pair of Fatboy amps talking shi . . ah, Skip to each other.


As to COBRA 29, just rig some internal LEDs and use as doorbell light show.

I’ve given away or traded every one that’s come my way.

No amp for me, I'll just put him back on block so he can't see what I've posted again .... It was a nice quiet month .. but the black tape comment, I just had to take him off block for a couple posts

Seriously? That’s not how it works….. You can’t see my posts if you ignore me, but i can still see yours. *face palm*
Also, learn to read and comprehend entire posts before firing back at somebody. Not just what you want to see.
