Cascadia bird perch mounts

I would leave it....The difference from a 1.0 to a 1.5 is a loss of 3 watts out of a 100...

 

That wire to the mirror bracket..I would dump it...If memory is correct its adding length to ant but forgetting that all it will do is help with static some..
There are a cpl fellas here with more smarts than me on the wire comment..They will comment to confirm or blow me away..

 

The guy in the petro on I 70 at the state line with ohio sells a custom "bird perch" Cascadia mount that is of much better quality and durability than the Wilson. Look at the weld marks on the Wilson and it screams automation. The aluminum that the Wilson is made of is cheap too. The custom made one is a much thicker aluminum and a regular mount adapted to it. Might be worth checking out. If you use a heavy antennae then the Wilson mount will not do. If your using a real lightweight one like the predator or a fiberglass one than the Wilson mount should do alright for you as long as you don't hit tree limbs or anything with the antennae.

 

Dont wanna be or need a 10k even though it mot heavy,unless your pushin big watts..
Even with a 10k the ss mount i have on my cascadia wobbled..So i went with top loaded fibreglass with better results..Not that there is anything wrong with the 10k but its not suited for a cascadia with auch a low mounting position..

 

I wouldn't be cutting on a Francis. JMHO

 

Click as if you were replying to msg..look for upload file..Up to you to fond the specific file and easy to figure out the rest..

 

1.5:1 or under is plenty good. I'd leave it alone.

 

Difference between 1 and 1.5 on 100watts is only 3..So it doesnt really matter but on a stock 4 watts it will matter more..
