Maybe the mag mount outside helped the ar-771 on the inside? and that is why it made no difference. I'll have to drive around more to see.
so mag mount mounted outside with no radio hooked up, and radio inside hooked up to ar-771 vs no mag mount outside not hooked up. and only ar-771.
When you tune for swr do you usually go with the frequency in the middle?
Or is it like cb, If your SWR reading is higher on channel 40 than it is on channel 1, lower something on your antenna. If channel 1 is higher than 40, raise something on your antenna.
really not trying to be smart butt here but why would i have a mag mount inside the car? "but i guess there is always that one person"
first baofeng attached to car mag mount outside on roof in center of roof top,
ar-771 antenna on second baofeng inside car.
I currently use a Baofeng BF-21 with the ABBREE AR-771 antenna.
I bought a mobile antenna it's a Midland – MXTA26 MicroMobile® 6DB Gain Whip Antenna NMO and the Mag mount.
To me it seams the ABBREE antenna works the same as the mag mount. Unless the mag mount works better with a 50 watt radio?
