How well do dual antennas work I have a 3 foot firestik but I kinda like the dual 3 footers on each side by the taillights What do yall think

 

If I remember right a guy on here told me they work but something about then wasn't idel for an xj....lol but they look bad *** tho!!!

 

im also kinda wondering the same thing. Do dual antennas give you better reception?

 

That's what I think my friend is like any guy with a real jeep would make fun of you for that and I was like bull$hit their bada$$

 

i got dual 102" stainless steel whips on my xj, McD's hates me lol

 

So you guys think it looks badass

 

its is when they are both straight lol, i bent mine

 

I want one of those 103" huge *** whips!

 

I've heard if you run 2 antennas they have to be properly spaced (like 8' apart of something?) to work at full potential. Honestly i don't see how it would be much better than having just one. Plus you'd have to go through the trouble of wiring them both. Though it does look badass lol..i run a single 102" whip and works good

 

well im guna get a ham radio soon and hook that up to one, and then get a police scanner and have that hooked up to a little 48" magnet base antenna sometime soon

 

They need to be precisely tuned with your CB.

 

I cant wait to get my second jeep started, im going to run a 102" on it.

 

Make sure you check you state laws (if you care), because most states, like mine, it's illegal to have a police scanner in your vehicle. Not sure why, but it sure would suck to get pulled over and have one pinging away on the dash, lol....

Though I still want one, just haven't decided on where to hide it.

 

if you have dual antennas(co-phased) is the actual term for it. It does look really awesome but it makes your recieve and transmit directional which means it picks up better in the direction that you are pointing not saying it wont pick up things from the sides it still will but they are made to increase your foward or rear distance

 

AS stated above, yes you need about 8-9' in between the dual antennas to work properly. That's why truckers have them on the outer edges of their mirror frames.

I wouldn't recommend it at all. More trouble and hassle than its worth IMHO. You'll be fine with one 102" stainless whip or a 4' fiberglass top loaded, tunable tip antenna. I run a Wilson 5/8 wave length 4' tall rated to 1000watts and its actually more antenna than I need but with my tuned cobra 25 I can send and receive about 8-10 miles in the city.
