Quick question. Is it safe to use a mobile antenna on a portable radio? I have perfect reception if I step off my front porch, but the second I go in my house, my portable loses signal. So, I thought of mounting a 1/2 wave mobile antenna to the front apex of my house and run the cable inside. I know you can get a cable with the proper connector to fit my portable. I just don't know if it's safe to do so. Obviously, I know to disconnect it if there's a storm coming through. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
