I never said I had good ideas. However, I realize that somehow you
better disconnect the connection when the VHF or radar is used. I
also forgot about impedance matching (my god, alzheimers, I taught an
engineering lab on impedance matching once). I really don't know how
a radar antenna works on small boats. If it is just a rotating dish,
it oughta work with the right transducer.

OK, an even worse idea.......Use your radar (I dont have one) as a
high gain antenna to point toward a cell tower. It ought to work for
900 Mhz. Some electronics could figger out the direction to the best
tower.

would be nice if folks who don't have a clue would just say they 'Don't
have a clue"

From Jim Woodward

3) The radar antenna idea actually has some technical merit,

and this "technical merit" would be?????
Cellphone 800Mhz
xBand radar 10Ghz
Bzzzt, Try again.......

Well not that the "Moorons" have finished lets hope Sanity wins out.....
