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...

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...

If you plan on putting a tool box on it, that works well because the antenna can be mounted on it and centered on the truck. Other than that, a Breedlove stakemount should be rock solid. When I get around to putting my mobile HF on my truck that's the way I plan to do mine. I don't like the...

Nice setup and design. However, the the A index shows different at 5 whereas the HAMQSL that's widely used still shows a very high number of 58. I also see way more activity on PSK reporter.

Very good radio with that hybrid SDR super het receiver. If you have an earlier version where the pop up screen for band selection stays on for only a short time, do the firmware update to resolve this. I helped a friend do this on his and a made a real improvement. The window stays on for a...

I prefer Kenwood radio's and after owning the TS-590 for a while, I decided to step to the Kenwood TS-890. I like the features, ergonomics, and overall performance. Kenwood is also the only radio manufacturer that includes full rig control software with remote/server capability. Others don't...

My Entry here, I too understand the rules and wish to enter the contest.

"When I became a man, I put away childish things,"

Not really much of a hijack, This is worth noting for all reading this thread. The OP did post some pics of the rotor platforms he used that I thought were interesting and I ended up getting a set for my antenna mast because of this thread. I'll do the same here and offer a suggestion! If you...

If you put vertical elements on the mast of your current beam, you should take off the 5/8 vertical as you won't need it. Remember, it's the feedpoint height of the vertical antenna (and all antennas) that matters not the overall height of the antenna. You'll have both a 4 element horizontal and...

Those are made in the Philippines not France. Those were the good President radio models during that decade. This one was a version exported to sold in France.
