I fully intend to mount in a Co-Phase setup with Door Jamb Mounts Springs and Quick Disconnects. What is the Minimum Distance between Antennae?

From FireStik - We haven't come up with any "exact" measurements, just because there are so many variations of antenna sizes and install situations. However, the closest we have ever mounted antennas and still achieved low SWR below 2.0:1 was on a short-bed pickup truck where the antennas were mounted to the inside edges of the narrow box on a GMC step side pick up. The antennas were mounted just under 4 feet apart.

I would mount unit within 10 Ft max, I used a cobra wire kit. I used quality extension cords to get power where I needed it as it was a lot cheaper than purchasing 0 gauge wire.

It's only 6'. It's basically just an adaptor from the standard antenna connection on the back of the sirius dock to an RG-6 end. You'll need to buy and run a standard RG-6 antenna cable wire to your antenna.

Well, I guess it depends on where you're taking your motor home. A 3' antenna on top of a 6' high mount is nine feet, which would be fine on most every road, but if you're driving on private land under low tree branches, you may wish to consider adding the Firestik heavy duty spring mounts. Get the heavy duty, not the medium duty ones, as I found the medium duty springs too weak.

We mounted it solid to the wall in our RV so we didn't use quick disconnect fittings. Mounted our sons the same way. Not sure what you'd need for quick disconnect. Sorry

Most notability is the number of elements and the overall size. The other is the word extreme. Our location was at the maximum distance 50 Miles from the Broadcast antenna. Plus, I wanted to mount the unit in the attic. I would estimate if your around 25 miles distance and mounting outside the C2 would work fine. However, I would opt for the C2-V-CJM with the additional element and mount. Here's what I see as the difference: Direct C2 - Does not come with antenna mount. Direct C2-V-CJM - Comes with antenna mount and additional element. Direct C4 - Does not come with antenna mount. Direct C4-CJM - Comes with antenna mount.

There are too many variables to authoritatively answer any questions about the range your installation will get. It seems to be the best short antenna out there. Set it up (for SWR) according to the directions and vary the mount position and you will get the best range available with anything other than a permanent mount 8' whip!

The screws that came with my db4e also seemed too short. After calling the factory, I found out that some of these units had left the factory with a manufacturing defect. If you call Antennas Direct, they will either ship you a new reflector (the wire mesh part), or you can drill it out yourself, so the sleeve will slide down the bolt into the reflector pole. I drilled mine out myself. Call them for the information you need at 1-877-825-5572, and they will help you.

Hi Richard.We thank you for the question, and we do have a measurement for you: L = 20"W = 10"H = 2.25"Hope this helps you in find a suitable mounting location.Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

I put the bottom of the mounting plate (plastic backing piece) at 7.5 feet from the floor. Works well...

Antenna base bottom to tip 29 1/2 inches. Cable approx 16 1/2 feet. good luck.

There is between 1.5 and 2.75 inches from left to right. The difference is at the top and bottom where there are plates that allow two units to be mounted together.

Mount the Antenna where the computer/monitor/router is going to be. You need only one.

It is less than 5 inches but it is best to use a test hole pattern with some of the spare mounting surface material. The hole size can vary based on the thickness of the mounting surface.

Just under 11.25 in long unless you count the mounting tab. Then add another .25-.35

You will need spacers. Free via Kinsa. Apparently, port length is different.

Separate. Why would you want the connector attached? That would require a huge hole to pass-through. The instructions are clear and installing the connector is easy. BTW, I have a 23' runabout and the 8 ft mast is overkill, the 4' would have been just fine.
