HOMEMADE antennas and GOOD coaxial cable
you can make a KILLER antenna out of an extension cord and a chunk of coaxial cable (keep the coax as short as you can, no coils, no loops)
STEP 1
cut the extension cord to the length (single leg) for the frequency you will be using. CUT IT LONG and adjust swr by shortening wire
STEP 2
attach coax to plug. CLIP OR SOLDER (must be a good connection, clean all parts)
STEP 3
attach to radio and tune antenna by adjusting length of wire (both side MUST be the same )

lol, yeah, i should have put a warning on the video. the good news is- i have a new pair of suspeners
LMR 400 Flex is much much more flexible than regular. I recommend it. Also never buy coax from a truck stop, junk nothing but frustration.
Super informative, I learned some good stuff. I need to experiment more with my crappy roof antenna, Maybe make a new one out of an old 50' cord I have. Thanks for your time in what you do, it is appreciated.
Nice video. I'm amazed at what anyone can use to make an antenna. Thanks for posting, it is very helpful.
Impressive video
