HF antenna weird behaviour

I have an antenna that get 9,5V (down to 6 when tag is near). I read that this is enough for read from a tag but when I try to read a tag, proxmark cannot find anything.
Other commands like detect reader works fine but "hf 14b read" always get "bad CRC". I also read that this problem is caused by insufficient voltaje but in the antennas in proxmark3.com gives 8-9V and because of that I'm confused.
My antenna was built according to roel's guide.

Anything that might shed some light would be grateful

Re: HF antenna weird behaviour

I think you need around 12V for the antenna to work well.
If you built Roel's one (the one using an USB cable) try to make the loop a little bigger/smaller, or modify the shape. This way the inductance get modified and you could get better tuning (so higher voltage).

Hope this helps.

Re: HF antenna weird behaviour

Thank you for your answer!
Other trouble while making the antenna is the C35 capacitor. The guide says that for a 100pF capacitor the length of the cable should be shorter but I dont know what proportion. In only found an equation that relates inductance, frecuency and the capacitor capacity but nothing about the cable length.
