triple magmount

[pinejuice]

wanna try to change the coax on the magmount because its small and while i was taking it apart i broke it off. cant tell where the coax sheild was hooked up at..any idea where? never worked with this before.can i just hook it up on 1 of the mag mounts

the shield connects to the center of the triangle plate or the tbar right next to the antenna feedpoint on every trimag/quadmag i have seen, you want to keep the shield and center conductor as short and close as is practical to preserve the coax characteristics right to the antenna feedpoint.

i don't tthink you need a ground if you use a magnet mount.

Could you put that in english so the rest of us could decipher it.
I am detecting a Limey accent there and Im not sure if the antennas you use in the UK are the same as we use here, all I see are those junk serios coming from your country.

Im a big Tony Stewart fan but Im not too sure about the rest of you Brits

Its all I can do to tolerate one Magmount......I`ll be go to hell if I will get along with three

limey lmao, you know what antennas i use and my tripple 7" mag works fine, plenty of surface area for good capacitive coupling, and tested at 126mph with a 22" 10k, now throw that wilson weaner magnet away and put your 5000's on a sirio 145 magnet for a better signal.

I'm using a triple magnet mount with a single coil 10-k that does well with 450 bird watts which shows 1/4 watt reflect on the bird meter so I'd say the grounding is more than adequate on the trimag.
