Hi Gary, the mini-whip is not bad but where you are located it could be the
size of the 252 signal is producing some intermod/harmonics. Do you get the
same effect on a wire, or passive antenna?
I havent tried this but it may be possible to inprove the IMD performance by
paralleling a pair of J310s in the miniwhip, at the expense of increased
current drain.
