Maybe some of you can shed some light… Yesterday, I upgraded my antenna from an indoor magnetic base $10 antenna to the Flight Aware antenna. I installed the new antenna on a 15 ft. mast practically right outside the same window I had the smaller antenna in, so antenna is in the same geographic location, just 10 ft. higher than it was. Since switching antennas it seems that my range has decreased as well as the number of hits has gone down… how is this possible? I do have the blue flight aware stick which has the filter built in, so I’m certain that isn’t the issue.
Cable maybe? This is the cable I used: Amazon.com
I did run the cable along the same conduit that I have my security camera cables in… could that be causing interference; however, if so, I would have thought the filter would help that.
Any thoughts or ideals would be much appreciated!
