Hi - I don't know if this question has been answered before but I'll give it a shot!
I have an ICOM R-75 and an Alpha Delta DX-CC multi fan dipole at about 15' at the apex. I'm using RG-8X coax for now but I'm considering getting LMR-400 coax. Will I hear any improvement in reception if I also raise the antenna another 15' or is the LMR-400 more suitable for amateur radio transmitting?
