Ive got a few questions to ask the more knowledgable:
1. Can the UHF be damaged by using it without an aerial (coaxial rattled loose). If so, is there anyway to test if this has happened?
2. What is the best db aerial for hilly and densly forested areas? Ive heard 3db is best?
3. What is "ground dependant" and is this design the best for a 4wd?
4. My UHF is wired straight to the battery (positive and negative) as this was suggested in the instructions of the UHF so that the unit can be used without having the ignition on. EDIT: is this an ok set up? Is there any downside to this set up?
5. What is the best MHz aerial? Ive seen listings for 477MHz and 27MHz
I did notice the cable had come out of the back once a while ago but im not sure if i used it like that or not.
I tried to use it last weekend and i could hear and talk if the other car was very close (like 15 metres) but not any further away. The other vehicles say that im very distorted.
In open area i could hear the odd bit from the others up to 100 metres away but they couldnt hear nothing from me.....
