The purpose of duel antennae installation is to increase your power forward and to the rear. but you pay for this by decreasing side projecting power. Your Xmitter becomes very directional. And more unreliable.

With one antennae, if you encounter a problem, at least you know where the problem is not.
I agree 100% dual whips are for the birds!!!! you can get out and hear just as good with one!!
Go get yourself a Predator 10k you'll be glad you did!!
