Remove the antenna from any nearby electrical cables in order to fix problems with interference. This is also a safety precaution. It is advised to install the antenna at least
twice the measurement of its total antenna height from nearby electric power lines. -
2
Remedy bad contact in the coaxial cable or connector connection by ensuring that 50ohm coaxial cable is used to feed the antenna. If you are using any other cable, then remedy the problem by changing to 50ohm.
