Have a 33.6mhz freq and a 46.5mhz freq in the same radio. There use to be an ant. system that had tuned line lengths to facilitate this situation. Any one remember anything like this? Mot use to sell a "di-plex" ant system that would do it. One cable to the radio, a "T" and tuned length of ant cable to each ant.

I heard that /\/\ had a technical bulletin on how to combine 2 low band mobile antennas using a t-connector and some odd 1/4-wave transmission line lengths for use on a single wideband lowband mobile rig such as the Syntor X & X9000, but I've never seen it and don't know what the document number is. Maybe this will jog somebody elses memory...

What do you run for an antenna? You'd be surprised how wide banded a 1/4 wave is.

I have a 102" cb whip I put on the ball mount on my pick up sometimes. It's with a reasonable swr from 25.7-37.somthing

I longer one tuned right inbetween where you want to be might kick ass.

Just a thought

Seth (yeah a know the big stainless whip is huge, but it works well-and with a tuner I can get a butload more range)
