Design the coax run for 1.2 GHz or higher. Doing this \nmeans losses at 70cm will be negligible. Next, select an antenna \nsuitable for what you are attempting to do. A 2m 1/4 wave might be a \ngood option for mobile satellite work. With a high quality feedline, \nI actually had very good results working mobile on a high gain mobile \nwhip, much to my surprise!. In any case, keep the gain low, you \ndon't want all your radiation on the horizon, and directional \nantennas on a mobile are rarely practical (try aiming one on a \nwinding road :D ). But first of all, spend the $$$$ on the feedline.\n\n73 de VK3JED\nhttp://vkradio.com\n\n", "attachments": [] }
