I want to mount a CB antenna on the masthead of my sailboat but how much distance should I have between CB an VHF antennas ,will they interfere with each other 18" apart. The top of mast is 45 feet above the deck. I need to install it in as few trips up as possible.Thanks |

I did a rough calculation on a program I found on the Internet , 18" should be fine if you are below 20 watts from the CB to the VHF radio , as for the VHF radio to the CB , 100 watts won't touch it. |

For what it's worth... I have a dual band J pole mounted about 4 feet from a 11m dipole. I do notice some quieting on my 11m rig when I key up on 2m at 25w. There seems to be no interference, however, on 2m from the 10m rig putting out up to 50w. |

JUST DONT PUT THE RADIOS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER!!then they interfere with each other or at least my 2 meter rig at 70 watts and my cb at 100 watts fight ! just dont key up on both at same time. try to use a different ground if you can it all helps. good luck |
