    20160717_085252.jpg 20160717_085156.jpg This mount did work for a short shaft Wilson 2000 I had laying around, 1.5 swr with out any tuning, didn't go any further as this set up is going to be for 2 meters. I tried it with 2 different 3/8-24 mount 2 meter antennas they didn't do well. Got a couple of NMO mounts all 3 of the NMO base antennas tuned fine 1/2 wave no ground, 5/8 wave base load, 5/8 wave center load. I cannot explain the difference, so more experimentation is in the future. Using the 5/8 wave base load antenna this week height comes in at just under 13ft. The 5/8 wave center load will go about 13'4" so we'll wait and see how trees treat this one this week.

    well I'm pushing about 900 watts rms with my radio and amp..double that to 1800 watts on a bird meter. running 1ought cable with Anderson sb 350 connectors... think I better stay with the antenna I've got.....but it's in a truck so it's not stationary..so it's not quite pushing all those watts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Considering a Wilson 5000 has the same gauge wire I would assume it's capacity is just as good as a Wilson 5000
