Will this antenna transmit properly on the band split between 164.000 and 166.000? Thanks. Silvio/Paraguay

Get a better antenna. This one is kinda lame. If you have any sort of hill or building between you and the repeater, you wont get a good signal. I turned my Tram 1185 into a scanner antenna. It works better as a scanner antenna then it did as a mag-mount on my truck. Spend an extra twenty bucks on a 5/8ths wave antenna from a better brand. But to directly answer your question, I would imagine that you might be able to tune this antenna to 164-166. I doubt you could get a flat SWR on it though because I bet it would be too short.

It MIGHT but not likely. It's not designed to go that far. You would have to trim the length of the whip and put a watt meter on it to check for match. Going 20 Mhz out of band is not recommended and I wouldn't. Find an antenna cut specifically for that band split. Trimming the whip would also throw off the UHF side. Bottom line....I wouldn't do it !

These cheep antennas work fine between 144-440mhz. We don't use 146mhz range in the USA, so no way to test it in my truck, but since it is dual band and not just single band, it should have no problem transmitting in that range, as it is a higher freq than USA 2m which this antenna works well within.

No. The reason for the 2-band utilization of this single antenna is harmonics (of wavelength in this case). It would work just mediocre on receive (almost any antenna of 50-ohm can be used for receiving, it's just a matter of how well it will work), but would not work properly on transmit and would likely burn out your finals in the radio if you tried to use it for transmitting after a few minutes (too much power would be reflected back into the radio). Don't buy this for 164-166 MHz. Find the correct antenna.

I have found that the antenna used indoors does not work very well.I have heard the best way to receive shortwave is to set up a good antenna outdoors and run it inside.

Hi afhmiami,My straight answer to you is "I do not know", since I have not tested the off the air antenna before with SWM16.The use of AM-21 of the air tuner seems plausible. I hope this helps.Nick.

I would say so. Mine came packaged in the box with plastic and ties too. Return it or exchange it. My radio works great. Just last night I was able to connect with someone 400 miles away using a repeater frequency. I was amazed and shocked at the same time. Of course the signal didn't last very long, but it worked. I was using the stock antenna too. I just ordered the 771 antenna yesterday.

Yes.... A reciever is far more forgiving about bandwidth than a transmitter is. I checked the VSWR of my Tram dual band antenna and its bandwidth was pretty wide. For a receiver, it should operate just fine. The points where the antenna is the nost resonant may receive a bit better than way down at the band edges, but you'll hear just fine. For the price, its great. I've got a couple of bigger and better dual band antennas and they don't perform any better than the Tram.

I'm not sure but I would lean towards yes. I would add that it works great. Where my system is set up the best reception I can get with others is 3 bars. With this one I get almost a constant 5 and if it's not 5 it only ever drops to 4.

Sorry but for me, the antenna not transmit the 16 dbi to others WiFi systems

I have this antenna and have no issues. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002L0BXIK/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?qid=1387051368&sr;=8-22π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70. You will need one that will do multi freq.

First of all I am a ham radio operator and may have a better understanding of radio wave propagation. I say this because many people feel their radio is not receiving as well as it should be. At this time in the sun spot cycle the bands are not too good. 40 meters should give you some good activity late in the day and early evening. Now as far as your external antenna goes it will be best if it is resonant to the frequency you wish to receive. On my pl660 the lower frequencies respond better to the plug-in wire supplied with the radio. You can buy one of those tuned antennas that plug in. Go on youtube and put in degan w31ms.

Check the LNB rotation. Also, I noticed that for some transponders, changing the LNB frequency gets the quality going.

You have to see what kind of signal they use. This one is 315mht. Look it up. Hope this helps

Yes, I would just make sure you use different channels, preferably 3 or more channels apart, to avoid in band interference.

This model does not support FM broadcast band reception. I have two and the specs on the ad are not correct. You likely have to go to the 5 series but don't k ow for sure.

I'm not certain but I tend to think not..... we also at this time are Not happy with the signal range as I read before we purchased. The company replaced our unit under warrenty with a new unit which was (very nice) but the replacement had another broken antenna? And as the unit fuctions, however it does not extend beyond our previous signal which is basic.

I wouldn't use over a 7dbi to send signal! Never more then a 5 to 7dbi antenna to send. Then you need to know if your connection is a RP-SMA or what before buying. If you need more help let me know I am a pro in these matters. Mike

I don't know why not we are in the 152.0075 to 155 range it does great. Owners manual states Band 11 148 to 174. This a good scanner.

hmm i returned it and got another one and the reception is still very poor. I guess it's related to some interference then!
