    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    Rained like a pig yesterday at work. The Larsen somehow got water in it. I noticed a yellow streak on the trunk, removed the antenna and you could shake it and hear the water inside the case. So gonna put the old puck on the trunk and run the sirio, BIL said he likes the monkey made better...

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    Until I enter our parking garage and take off the antenna. The antenna on the Vic would slap the concrete rafters in the parking garages where I work. 6 foot entrance clearence. Not something the admin liked seeing after they painted everything last summer. Plus a trunk lid is easily replaced...

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    To be honest, the vic was stolen and burned to the ground. Had a HiPo engine but it's toast. So then I picked up a smart car for less than $1000, had a 102" whip on the rear, ran a Dave's made 1x4. Then sold that and picked up the Sonic because I needed room for the kids and the M35A2 was...

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    They just called back, said I could get it in a 8" shaft or no shaft, both having the 3/8x24 mount. Of course the mark up is huge at $150 walk out with swr set. I told them I'm still deciding on which one I wanna get. And still need a puck mount. I can get a breedlove 3" puck ($50 shipped) and...

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    Thanks!!! Called the local CB shop, they said they have it in a mag mount and a body mount. Definitely interested in the body mount, but they said my 7/8" hole is too big andand connector will fall thru and they are seeing if they can get one with a 3/8x24 stud.

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    I said "I'm looking for a CBantenna that will replace the nmo/2m setup." The Larsen nmo 27 will not handle the wattage I'm gonna throw at it. We're talking within six months over 1k pep. And I don't doubt Larsen antennas. That's all we use in the fire department ON BOTH 800 AND 2M. I will...

    Antenna for small car, need some pointers

    I had the Larsen on my old crown Vic, never had any luck with it, never could getgthe swr set where I liked it and driving down the road I always got "picket fencing". And it's only has a power handling of 200 watts, which a two pill will be easily pushing that limit. In fact I still have the...
