Seen in Devon this weekend

<< < (2/2)

Donald the Disco:
You can use twin twigs...........it is the wave length of the twig which must remain at 5/8ths I think.........

twin twigs on a truck alter the radio output to a better front & rear signal,  After all when you are on the motorway you want to talk the wagons in front or behind you not to some turkey on a housing estate...... :lol:

Anyway some bright spark is likely to appear and correct us...... :lol:  :D

thermidorthelobster:
Is the directional gain in line with the aerials, or at right angles to them?

The Widecombe Disco had one on the left, one on the right.

Niel:
Said smart arse duly appears: :wink:

It all depends on seperation distance, across a truck cab/landie the pattern will bias front rear, further apart (don't remember the figures) in line. The biggest problem is co-phasing needs the correct harness (75ohm cables matched lengths connected to 50 ohm to the rig) to work properly. Of course it might have had cb and ham rigs....

Niel. :D

Donald the Disco:
As I said....................Await the smart arse..............and one shows up........ :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Cheers Niel
