My nephew use to be a trucker, and he gave me the amp. I wanted to find some one that works on amps so I could get it checked out before I try it out. Who is good at that stuff ?

I have an A99 I purchased in 2013. Didn't use it but a short time. I took it down before hurricane Katrina and cleaned it and put it away , the washers was rusty also.

I don't think anything was wrong with the first so-239 ( Wilson ), but I couldn't take it apart to see what was under that black cover. That's some hard material. Couldn't get it off without destroying it so I put a different type so-239 on it. Some one posted some different photos and it was...

hello everyone, removed the spring, installed different so-239 and 2 radials and I now have 1.4 SWRs on 1/20/40. I never could hear so many truckers before on the interstate, 8 miles away. I asked for a radio check, and got a answer said they could hear me good. So thanks everyone for the help.

check out my skip shooter, li-wil . Ha,ha. Just seeing if I could post a photo

Thanks, just got back from the hardware store. Work in progress.

Hi , I had already tried removing the spring

Hello riverman, I'm going to take you guys advice and ditch the spring and build some radials also going with a different 239. I'm going to come off the bracket with the radials. Is it ok to use stranded 12 ga. Wire with insulation or do I need bare wire. Thanks, Dannell. South MS.

No my bracket is thinner than theirs. I had to build my own because I had to mount it to a1 1/4" pipe and their bracket wasn't wide enough. Thanks for you guys help I want to thank all you guys for your help, I'm going to take that mount apart tomorrow and see what's what. I know about your...

Mine just had a large thick black insulator that's underneath the black cone thats between it and top of bracket it sits on.

Y'all know it's dark and freezing ?

Yes I looked it over real good, but you know it has a nut that tightens down against the bracket on bottom where it goes.through the hole Isn't that part of grounding it ?

I'll take some photos tomorrow and try and post them

Sorry, Yes home brew I drilled the same hole size as a store bought one.

Correct

Yes has a nice thick insulator. It's a HD wilson with a plastic cover or bell looking cover over it

Ok I understand now.

Yes have two radios and checked both, had same problem. That pl259 connector on the coax doesn't pull in all the way and you can wiggle it slightly. I didn't want to tighten it too tight. Didn't have that problem with the new coax.

Yes have two radios check both, seprobl I have a L bracket with u-bolted to end of pole have so-239 on bracket with spring screwed on to it and antenna screwed on the spring.
