I am putting up a 2m J- pole on the side of my tower my beam is on. will that cause me SWR problems and or receive and transmit problems. And how far does it need to be away from the tower leg
I agree, I ran one of these for years and they work greathttp://www.cushcraftamateur.com/Product.php?productid=ARX-2B
IMHO much better choice for 2m...
Half wave length good to know. So this would not be practical on 11m, taking notes. I wonder if the tower would cause a null or be a director? Thanks.Pretty sure the separation should be at least one-half wavelength.
About one meter.
73
I often wonder why certain people cannot/will not/are not capable of simply answering a
question. Don't include your two cents about antennas, who cares ?
If you cannot simply answer a question, just move on and don't be RUDE........
Killowatt I didn't take any offence to what you said, I have done 11 m forever (like since the 70's) but this 2 m stuff is all new to me. I got the J-Pole because it was a cheap antenna that I could used now, just to monitor until I could get my ticket to be able to use it.
In my experience, a j-pole has its own tx/rx problems without any concerns on how it is mounted.
I have no idea why people still use those things.
