Since reciving my 915 in the mail I've searched and read every review.
I was totally surprised to read 100's of people who've purchased and used them with excellent results
I was assuming since it's similar to an air choke it should be placed 2' below the antennas 'll 259.
The reviews I read came from qrz/Hams to cb operators.
Almost every one wrote how great these mfj 915 's worked. I know the air would choke should be 2' below the feed point.
I know this is made out of ferrits and the wound choke is just thst, wound coax there usually placed àt 2' brlow the feed point so I'm thinking 2' eould br good but trust be told I've absolutely no idea of where exactly this should be placed.
they basically do the.ame job they basically serve the same purpose..
That's why I said if it were left up to me id put it 2'. When you say as close as possible do you mean 6" 8" 1'. I want to get it to work as well as it can.
Can you be more specific. I will wait to see if anyone else rings in. It's weird because with so many reviews not one person said how far down from the feed point they installed there 915.
'.wavrider thank for your initial suggestion on the MFJ 915. I haven't began the antenna install or new station setup and won't untill sunday.
I just want to have everything that can prepared before hand ready to go. So as i can take it step by step wihout having to stop and cutting a specific length of LMR 400 to install the 915. Thanks.
Personally, if it was me, as short as possible.
