I had my system profesionally installed on the local truck I used to drive. I installed it myself on my current truck and it seems okay. Somehow or another I managed to screw up the coax so I went and bought another one, this one with dual hookups. I only have the one antenna. Steel wire whip with the little coily thing. Not fancy, but not super cheap either. Seems okay, but I guess I'll find out once I leave the house tomorrow. I may go ahead and buy another antenna just for looks. Probably won't hook it up. I do like the dual look myself and money ain't much of a problem for me. 8)

Don't use dual coax with only one antenna :shock: At least stick any antenna on the other side of it. Otherwise it's going to be messed up.
Your tuning will be way out and could damage the radio. You will be able to use the radio, but either get single coax or put another antenna on. |
if your coax is set up for dual antennas then you need to hook up both. running an open coax end can ruin your radio. is you only want a single antenna hooked up go and get your self a single piece of coax.

I say no less than 10 antennas. Any less than that, and you aren't a real truckdriver. :wink:
