2017+ Cascadia Evolution Antenna Mount

108 " will be as if ant were mounted on the mirror itself at the top like on volvo..On the crapcadia mirror ase is not..
Yeah im thinkin a roll will go a long ways,keep it as wide as possible...

With coax look for something that has alot of tightly woven shielding..The more spaced the weave the worse it is for shielding..

As for keeping the ant from whipping around as much i oicked up some semi flexable cream colored pvc pipeing...
I used about 3 to 3.5 ft from the base up...Takes alot of strain off the base of the antenna and does help with sway...I personally would run just one till everything is up to snuff and your gettin 20 mi range.....
Most of the prob with these is ground plain..
Got my new rig expert aa 55 zoom today..Holy crap it blows the doors off the aa 30 i had..Much better detailed screen,more options and now its maken me learn a lil more cause of those options....I dont have to be flippin screens so much either.....Not that its a big deal but my fave screens are the multi freq screen....Measure 5 freq at same time..Glad i upgraded..

 

I took my vise grips to the bench grinder and ground down the bottom jaw. I couldn't adjust the mirror with the vise grips slid in, but I never move them once they're set anyway so no big deal. I bought the cheap, discount tool store vice grips. You don't have to squeeze them down too tight to hold that set up I had. The last Cascadia I drove was the 2016, so I have no idea on anything later than that.

 

I used the needle nose vice grips and ground the bottom jaw down. That mirror doesn't look any different than the one on the 2016 and below. Put a piece of fuel line on the top jaw, and you can clamp without leaving a mark. Like I said, you won't be able to adjust the mirror while the vice grips are in place.

 

Man, these cascadia threads give me a headache....too much monkey business. LOL.

 

No change with the flexable pvs that almost the same diameter...
As for the charger,the pic i posted is what i just bought and was shocked how well it worked..Only bought it cause original tnd tablet charger got to weak to charge it..

Coax can make or break your set up..The coax itself vs the pl259 choice vs how its attached all can make a huge diff..The more shield with a tight brade the higher the velocity factor and lowest loss....Unless your puttin out jigga watts of power most anything over lmr 240 type specs on coax are over kill but i dont mind spending a smidge extra even though ill not hear the diff..

 

Dont read them..
