Bending could do it or maybe some shims on the opposite side that it's leaning would do it. May need a longer bolt to compensate for it though. You'll get it!

Looks solid and stable. Yeah, I think I would put it on the passenger side. Is there a way you put some spacers on one side of the bracket mount to level it up? Other than that, it looks good!

Hustler antennas still sells the SSM-3 pot belly stainless steel spring. It is kind of heavy but it is only 4 inches though. These are a good as you are going to get for a 102 whip for sturdiness and long life without rust. Some of those truck stop cheapy springs will likely flop the 102 whip...

Maybe, I only said that because the ATAS seems big enough where it might obstruct some some of your view on the drivers side. Of course you"ll have to judge that for yourself.

Yes, it does look like a good mounting scheme. Maybe put a 2m/440 antenna on the driver side since it shouldn't block your view. The ATAS should work well on the passenger side. Be sure to post pics of the finished install.

You can do it through a computer but you have an older radio with no direct USB connection but it can be done. You need a 8 pin DIN connector to go from your radio's ACC 1 port and wire it into the computer sound-cards analog audio input/outputs. You'll be able to do both, record any audio off...

Actually the break in settings on the 746 is selected by the toggling the VOX button

To answer your CW question, Check to see if the "BREAK IN" feature is on. It should be found in the settings menu in CW mode. This will put the tone into TX but you still may have to plug in a keyer to TX a carrier tone. There is FULL and SEMI BREAK IN modes and my Icom-7000 HF radio and also...

Yes, MFJ ceased production operations last May buy I read where they did announce there will be doing warranty service for at least a year so that time has passed so maybe that's going to be completely it very soon. I already downloaded and saved manuals on the few of their products I have for...

I haven't seen those ones before, but looking at it I like the way rope feeds through the lock better on these ones. These ones are a bit costlier but for the ease they make securing guy lines and other uses, I say they are well worth it.

Good luck with your mobile set and be sure to post some pics when you are finished.

That should work just fine

I see that as strong enough but it doesn't seem like you"ll have enough clearance under that bracket for the coax connector for either antenna. I don't know the ATAS antenna and what type of connector feeds it. Possibly drilling the bracket a hole a bit and using a NMO connector and a NMO to...

Nice! Tool box is a great place for your antenna. One possible drawback with toolbox mounting is some people like to be able to see all of their antenna's coil especially when using a manual control switch so the antenna doesn't get bottom or topped out and damage the motor. Nothing wrong with...

I also say go with the Manstrant. The stuff is almost like Kevlar and it's UV resistant. The 5/32 Type M has a 970lb break strength. DX engineering has a good assortment of different sizes and spec's. Manstant come in 2 types, type P is good for most situations but if you want even stronger go...

I see that now. I just saw a YouTube video that was made only a couple days ago about this and I assumed this was more recent. But it still shows the FCC will still enforce CB and Amateur radio if someone acts up enough.

Just when you may have thought the FCC doesn't want to take the time anymore to go after Ham and CBers. Here is a much deserving guy who gets his for purposely jamming a CB channel. Click on link below or copy paste to brower the second link. FCC Record...

Turner +3 Wiring below

Are you trying to respond to Robb? That post was from 2011. He's is a silent key as it says under his screen name. That's making you look stupid.

I don't condone the use of using those either but I will say what I can tell how many people are doing that these days. These guy are going direct inject into their radios where they can use outboard gear and even computer programs and SDR receivers with their radios. Once a radio is able to...
