cat5 question(no better?)
hey, its pakiplaya here.
taken a break from anoying everyone lol.
changed my name so that i can start off fresh. i have a cat5 antenna. i couldnt solder it due to not having a soldering iron or gun.
i then cut the stock antenna in half, then cut off some insulation,
and took some insulation off the cat5 and then twisted both the copper wires from the stock antenna to the cat5.
i didnt get 1 inch differents in the range.!!
is this because it only works if u solder the cat5 alone? instead of twisting both different wires?
and i will keep my posting to new rooms lowered, thanx.

cat5 wire made no difference to me. the only advantage is that you can pick the color of the antenna and the proper length.

yes, i got the same results. why do soo many people make such a big deal that they got so much more range? and what mhz are u using hogjowlz? and did u solder it to the board? or twist it to the stock antenna

i installed it on a 49mhz and soldered it straight to the board. it didnt hurt the range but it didnt help. plus i got to pick the color of the antenna. whooopty doo.
