I have a 2019 express 15 passenger van. I have been looking for a console to mount cb, amp, few switches..... I like the gamberjohnson stuff , but cant seem to find anything for van... Any Ideas or DIY's that peoples put in van consoles? thanks.

Thanks for the upgrade tips, I'll definitely look into them

Thanks for the pics!

JuSr can't bring myself to it..

Im probably looking at this. https://www.wearecb.com/cb-coax-cable-rg8x-ring-terminals.html and this https://www.wearecb.com/hood-cb-antenna-mount-van.html . Question on the "ring terminals" , how does something like that hook up on the antenna side? Ill bond the crap out of everything...

Thanks for all the replies so far, and thanks for the link slowmover.. I understand that the more money you spend and "doing it right" will get you better results but putting holes in my roof, removing headliners buying pretty much new everything just isn't for me at this point. 20 years ago...

I tried the search, maybe I did it wrong? Anyway, I had to trade in the ram 3500 4wd flatbed dually (my dream truck) for more of a family ride,, got a baby on the way. Came home with a 2019 Chevy express 3500 15 passenger van, HAHAHAHA... I was running a Wilson trucker on my truck and want to...

thanks yall!

Hey guys, Im needing some basic base communications so Im going with the A-99 , a 60' tower a basic mobile with power source and maybe a 200w heater. Question is, Im in S georgia where its hotter than a 4 balled tomcat in the summer. Id like to protect the fiberglass a little and was thinking...

Well, I still haven't decided what Im going to do,, but I have a question regarding quads. There huge. If you can make a antenna out of emt, (or wire, copper etc) why couldn't you make the whole "square" out of copper or emt,, spreaders and all? wouldn't that make the whole thing act as the...

So if I decide to go the MOXON route, can it be done with 1/2" EMT? Not the "spreaders" but the elements themselves . I would like to do it in copper but Im on a tight budget. So as of now, Im either going to do a vertical dipole (in 3/4 and 1/2" copper for the elements, or a MOXON in 1/2" EMT...

I haven't got to the horizontal or vertical thing yet, but after looking at the moxon im kinda leaning towards it. What can the elements be made of? By the calculator, Im going to have a 13' driven element. Can these be made out of conduit or something, or do you gotta take the coax all the way...

I know Im askin a lot here so let me tell yall where the antenna has to go. Has to go. About 18" from my shop I have a 4x4x12 buried 2' in the ground with about 80 or 100lbs of concrete in it. Cant remember. I can add onto it for bracing or what not but it has to go there. We may be selling soon...

From what I have read, its "reviews" go both ways. It seems like its a easy and inexpensive project but Im kinda looking for a "tried and true" set up. I lean twards trusting forums more than anything so if no one has any positive experiences with something like this I'll maybe put it on the...

now if I can get a translator. LOL Theres a excel file that lets you use the calculator. http://n6pet.com/taktenna-antenna-project/

Ill look for some DIY's in a bit and see fi I can figure out how to calculate something like that.

Iv looked at those and was going to ask about them. didn't know if they would be good for 11m?

Thanks for the replies. When its all said and done I may end up just buying one but Id like to try to build something first. Like I said, I may not even "need" a directional, that's why Im asking. To me their cool I guess. As far as performance,,,, man, Im in my truck in the driveway barefootin...

Im gonna have to DIY it for money reasons, but Im not dead set on a quad. just something that might be a little smaller . What is the smallest a "directional" can be? I don't neeeeed a beam, but one would be cool if I can scale it down smaller than a VW bus.

I was wanting to make a cubical quad beam antenna to use as a "base" antenna. After looking at pics and tutorials for a few days I finally made it to the calculator part of it. I had no Idea they were that big. If I did it right, I think the squares would be like 9'x6' . Is there a mini...
