So I have spent all weekend goofing around with the radio and I like
it... A Lot.. but I have been playing around wih the Stock Duck vrs a
MFJ1717s (a 144/440MHz whip) I have stayed on those bands and I have had 100% better luck hitting repeters in my local area. With the stock Duck I
have a hard time hitting the 147.300 here in Northern Virginia and I am barely hitting any APRS Stations. So my question is this...
Is there somethign wrong with the duck that came with the radio... (I
dont think so but I thought I would be getting out better than I am)
and...
Does anyone have a suggestion for a Multi Band Replacment Antenna?
Has anyone replaced their stock duck with anything?
Thanks in advance...
