Attenna
I read the ad for the antenna, they state there "hand tuned" I've been a ham for over 20 years and you need to check your SWR with a VHF 144MHZ meter it's really important you want a 1:1 to 1:3 reading, the higher it gets more RF is reflected back in to the radio and will burn your TX finals out. I would be careful of the placement antenna close to electronics, it will play hell when you TX. Don't use a splitter they do cause losses and with a 4db gain you could save money and use a coathanger instead.
