Hello everyone I hope you had a good Xmas,
Could anyone please forward advice on positioning my UHF arial on my GU 3lt Patrol. The best position as far as reception is on the gutter mount, but I am a little concerned about damage to the door and seal with opening and closing the door as
well as body flexing while 4wdriving. Any
feedback from the experienced would be greatly appreciated. The arial is a 6db with a 9db switchable arial.
cheers
Gav

Yep, the higher, the better. A stubbie aerial on the roof works better than any on the bullbar and most of the time, that is all I use. The more recent ground-independant aerials can live anywhere on the roof and perform
well. The coax can run down the gutter and through a grommet on the door
well.
I also use an adjustable swing down gutter mount for when I use the taller aerial.
