Hi everyone. I bought a Tram 1411 antenna and received it Tuesday; and I put it up the same day.
The antenna is on a pole and it is about a foot or so above my roof. For some reason, it does not pick up nearly as much as my little magnet mount antenna that was in the same place and at an even lower position. I am using PL-259 cable and have it connected to a BNC adapter to my scanner (BCD536HP).
I live in a very rural area, so I understand that maybe some of it. However, since my magnet mount antenna receives much better, I think that either the antenna is messed up, or I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
And just FYI, I set everything up the way it is supposed to be; all parts are in the correct place.
Thanks again for any help, it is greatly appreciated.
