Hello all! I’m new to radios in general but have poked around for a while gleaning what I can. From what I have gathered, co-phasing antennas increases gain. I am wondering if it is possible to co-phase puck style antennas? Not the 3+inch ghost antennas, more like the Larsen LP450NMO (1.5”). They are unity gain and I am hoping to achieve 3dB. I understand that whip antennas offer better performance, and there are those who detest non-whip antennas. I’m not trying to start a debate about whether I SHOULD use a puck antenna, but I am trying to go “super-ghost” if you will with my antenna install. I have a Jeep JKU (which I know is a difficult antenna platform) with a hard top. If co-phasing would give me 3dB I can mount them to my roll cage under the top. Unfortunately there is not enough room there for a standard ghost antenna, and I intend to avoid adding an antenna outside if it is at all possible. Thank you all in advance for any info you can provide!
