antenna length prefrences

slravene · 08-12-2005, 03:22 PM

Ok guys i got a question to ask...Do you think that a 63" antenna mounted in the hood lip is too long? I ask this because i put one on there and it seems a bit long, but its not higher than my other one that WAS on my roof (the antenna was shorter, but it was on my roof). should i just go buy a firestik and return this long one?

Who are you trying to communicate with ?

Trail or road work ?

Trail work only requires a relatively short antenna like the Lil Wil or maybe a 2 or 3 foot Flex i-whip, all by Wilson or a 3 or 4 foot Firestik.

Road work, you may want something longer.
