How far apart should mobile and UHF antennas be mounted so that they don't interfere with each other, assuming that they do given they're different frequencies?
I have a UHF antenna mounted onto the ARB deluxe bar in the left hand hole supplied as standard. I'm looking to put an allband cellphone antenna on as well. My problem is that I had intended to mount the mobile antenna using a "Z" bracket halfway up the left hand bonnet line but now realise it will further raise my minimum height requirement for carparks (the antenna is 1120mm long, so I now lose another 120mm or so in height).
I've already ripped the box apart so don't think I can return the item, so I'm stuck with what I've got.
The missus doesn't want it out the front in line of sight on the top of the bar as she's already annoyed by the UHF so I have two options I think. First, put it into the right hand side mount hole on the bar which isn't a real problem but I think it contravenes some Dept of Transport reg somewhere or second to drill another hole just to the rear of the mount on the LHS, which will mean the two antennas are separated by 100mm or so.
Would this cause problems electromagnetically?
Cheers,
Dave
