sad but true

the predator stud is 2 inches tall by itself..

 

I'm thinking something stupid is going on with your situation it usually is. the idiot syndrome we talked about before. when's the last time you tightened every bolt on your mount ??? the pole included ??? not trying to be a smart ### either everything matters....

 

I've never ever had a issue with that stud ever.my antenna is heavier than any predator out there. there are amphenol connectors pl259 and Teflon connectors i use the Teflon pl259 with r g 213 cable which most people will say is base station cable. it all works very well for me and a massive stainless mount helps ......

 

nothing is perfect I'd rather just run the whole trk into a brick wall at 65 mph right before I jump out pos that it is

 

didn't think the flat part of a new aluminum mount would snap in two with a 30k attached so anything is possible ??? especially with the winds coming out of Cheyenne heading westbound on 80

 

you definitely have something weird going on and when it gets figured out all of us including myself will probably have a duh moment. it'll be something totally obvious and something we all overlooked. .
