Have you tried to adjust it yet?
FWIW, my adjustment consisted of assembly, check SWR, talk!
Still polishing the tri-mag. Tapering leading edges. Aligning magnet cover drain holes. About to apply a coat of
REJEX to the whole, as — between blinding shine + chrome — the sub-molecular bond won’t allow static to adhere.
No, friend, not yet. I’ve had several years worth of gear I’ve bought and never sorted down to the granular level. Bags and metal tool boxes. Stuff. Ever-whar.
Work I’ve avoided. Just climb back in big truck AND DRIVE.
The fun parts:
1). My son had his tools stolen two years ago by the moving company “helpers” (they made good on it). I’ve bought enough tools on the road and online I’ve started to have three and four of everything. So I’ve put together a CARE package. (A “real” toolbox has old and new. Some pieces I’ve had 40-years).
2). My Dad passed ten years ago. A toolbox I gave him 45-years ago is now my Electrical box. That’s gotten cleaned up & out. Lubed. Between it and a 3’ BUCKETBOSS Gladstone Bag are the radio items directly related to power. Etc.
My back has whacked me for the day.
Spent it with all the split loom left over from the Peterbilt project (and a couple of Freightshakers before it) and the 1/8” + 1/4” bought in 100’ rolls now is used up with leftover wire covered, some of it a couple of decades old. (It ain’t ready if it ain’t covered. Covered, bound and bundled with its brothers).
I don’t think I used 80’, but over the past days have done similar with coax and Big Power. (This was the little stuff).
Forgot to order the Split Loom Loading Tool (yes, there are several types). The big stuff kicked my tail sitting on the bunk while on the road installing double 2-AWG into 1.0” ID.
The (4) Harbor Freight cases (how did I miss I have six or seven radios?) are about ready to be outfitted. Whatever came inside original shipping plus spares. Storage here is limited. Radios (plus the necessary) need to be ready. Etc.
Antennas are another day. I thought I had a dozen. Nope, seventeen. Some 8’ and 6’ and 4’ pieces of PVC capped at one end is soon to come.
I was thinking about my “proper” sub-13’ coax problem for yon Texan and believe I’ll join an LMR-400 six-footer to a DXE-58 piece that ought to make the bend under the rear seat and back thru the cab vent. And a third DXE to go up and over the roof to hit the magmount.
Compare it to (horrors) a truckstop 18’ still in the package.
I’ve spent, . . but coax crimp tool and supplies havent yet arrived from the North Pole.
Yours might perform.
But mine’s
shiny.
