Re: ATV antenna

I usually use the Shakespere 8 footers mostly for height for a marker flag but the height definately helps with coverage too. Plus if i'm not mistaken it's a 3db gain antennae so you can cut power down and still get the same range

Re: ht-1250 original codeplug

NO, your 5.14 firmware is not that old, you shouldn't be having those problems, a new codeplug will work with that version. Take the radio in and have the firmware updated to brand new and it will update the codeplug version too and problem solved?
