One Antenna or Two?

[ChadHahn]

I picked up a used Kenwood TM 733A the other day. It has antenna connectors for both 2M and 70CM. Would I be better off getting two antennas or using a duplexer and a dual band antenna. Right now I have a Firestick antenna mounted to a PL-259 connector on one side of my pick up bed tool box for the CB. I would probably put something on the other side of the box.

Quality high gain dual band antenna would be fine. get it up as high as you can.

I run separate 2m and 70cm antennas with a duplexer, but that's because I have a neat super flexible VHF-only antenna but use UHF enough I'd forget to swap and TX into it.

I agree with Gary, nothing wrong with a good dual band unless you have a reason otherwise.
