    There are pictures of a couple of dipoles in the cascadia antenna solutions thread. I found my dipole worked better when insulated from the bird perch mount.

    You won't find the Firestik you need at a TA. 4' for the positive radiator will not cut it.

    When you make the dipole, be sure the negative radiator (downward antenna) is installed without the insulator.

    Thanks, works great somewhere around 10 miles in the rain. Now that I know a bit about it I am going to get a shorter coax and rewire it and remove the already mounted antenna and a couple other things.

    I had a cascadia once and I had stilts in St Mary's Ga put two hustler antennas in the stock mounts and they worked awesome with my connex.

    I've seen a few of the stock systems work pretty good also.....but it is very rare.
