Well Alexis I agree. 


This guy had to use some antenna that was prone to CMC. I think most antennas that are discussed here on the forum are probably end fed, like the A99 and Imax seem to be the most guilty actors in CB radio. 


Maybe if he had used an end fed antenna like a CB'er might use to test...then maybe we would have seen much more of a difference, and thus suggesting maybe the test might have been enough for us to tell...just using our radio system with a meter. 


I tested and did not use high tech equipment, but I could not tell any difference as I noted earlier. Frankly I didn't really see much difference in the video test either, but some folks will surely say that tone he injected was loud an clear and could make the difference in some contacts not being heard.


Alexis, I recall another video by a forum member in England, I think. If I can find it I will post it too. It was using FM and the test was 2 way, comparing signals using an Imax and A99, I think. 


I think it was Conor, not sure though, and he was not testing for noise, but part of the conversation was talking about noise, and I could see it and hear it happening.


Thanks for the response.
