??? Which is Considered to be the Best Coil Antenna Out There:

[JohnnyFlake]

For those of you who may be using a coil antenna now or have in the past. From your experiences, which are the best ones? If you were going to use one, which would you buy?

if your gonna use it for your base antenna idea loose the coil and go with a 108 inch whip ..... with the ground plane added and a coax choke .

Is there are ground plane kit for that antenna? I was not able to find it on the site.

Also, I do not know what a coax choke is.

"Why would you want a ground plane kit for a mobile antenna in the first place?"... or are you looking for a base antenna?

As I mention in my original post, I have a height restriction. Therefore, I am trying to set up a quality mobile antenna as a base antenna. It's not as easy as one might think. You need some thing to take the place of the vehicle, which acts as a ground plane for the mobile antenna.

here's a link to explain coax chokes

http://www.deepsouthradios.com/forum...oax-choke-info

they help prevent common mode currents from coming down the coax . CMC's can cause bleeding into nearby electronics (tv , computer . etc. )

there is no GP kit there for it . you can make one out of speaker wire and PVC pipe from lowes/homedepot etc. .



here's one i made , used speaker wire for the vertical ... just taped it to the side of a piece of pvc sticking up above the GP .

Get a Antron 99 ...just a straight up piece of fiberglass and you don,t need to have radials..
and will work way better than trying to use a mobile antenna..
Can buy them almost every were..
