ballsdeep184 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I just installed my new cobra vhf and skakspere 8ft antenna, as I was reading the manual it has a warning to not be in a 10ft radius of antenna when transmiting. Now I only have a 18 1/2 ft boat so I was wondering if I should be worried about radiation from this, and how you guys and where you guys mount your antennas. I don't really want to look like a jackass with my antenna raised on a 8 ft pole then the 8ft antenna. I have it on the gunwhale about 3 ft from my face on console side. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!Thats why I dont read manuals! But maybe that radiation explains a few things about me:p Mine is about 1 ft from my head. Never heard of it being an issue. I dont know too many boats that have one farther than 10' anywhere in the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep184 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 That's what I thougt, I mounted it same spot as my old one. I figured what the hell everything that's fun is goin to kill u, driving to fast, drinking, and now fishing and talking on your vhf. I just thought it was crazy and I have never seen a boat with it mounted corectly. So I'm stickin with how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
