Nice video James, looks to me like the telescopic achieves the best results. Just a shame it’s the most awkward to use. Often the way though in radio, convenience comes at a cost as you’ll know! Great video mate
The laws of physics don't change - the closer to the length of a quarter wave (2.7 meters on 11 meters) the better. Shorter antennas with more loading to make up for the lack of length = more loss, and will perform poorly
Can I use this on the new thunder pole tx. TWAYRDIO CB Aerial 27MHz CS Tactical BNC Antenna 65.5cm(25.8inch) for Cobra Midland Alan 42 Uniden Anytone Cb Handheld/Portable Radio police scanner
Yes. Although he said Lichfield I think it was just this side of Lichfield so it’s not that far. I think I have spoken to that chap previously. I’m happy with the range. Was a good contact. 👍
@@Shack-time I recently bought one of these units and only just began to test it out with the stock antenna. Decent results so far with limited testing.
Great test rog
Hopefully this upload is better than the last
Nice work 6!

In the open field you can reach huge distances, in a city only a few kilometers.
Nice one 👍
If the portable hasn't any problem (bad rf shielding) , the audio as no relation with the antenna😊😊.
What’s your thoughts on that tactical antenna
Well it’s better than the stick antenna but unfortunately the telescopic is the better out of the few I tested.
@@Shack-time cheers for that 👍
@@Shack-timewitch type is that telescope antanne ?

Did you say Lichfield to Stile Cop? If I heard you right, that's nearly 10km. Very impressive for a handheld.
