thats good to know. I have a 10ft one feeding into a female to female connecter with a 10ft on the other side. Or is 2ft extra going to mess things up?

 

From the firestik.com website

"Spacing of the antennas in a dual antenna installation will have an affect on the radiation pattern of the antennas. Technically, spacing between the antennas should be nine feet (2.7m) to have the most balanced pattern. If that distance cannot be achieved, that alone should not discourage you from using co-phased antennas as you will still receive most of the benefits of a dual antenna set-up. However, spacing less than five feet (1.5m) may require some special tuning skills in order to achieve satisfactory SWR readings."

check out this page about dual antennas
