Late model 389 antennas

What kind of mount do you guys use that run the single cb antenna on the back of the sleeper?

 

I would highly recommend going to a radio shop with the proper crimping equipment in it and have somebody make you up a cable with an FME connector on one end and a pl-259 on the other end . Then you can use one of these adapters after you fish the wire through the mirror arm .

Its called an FME pl-259 adapter.

Your comment on carhaulers getting crappy satellite reception just caught my eye. I just recently picked up my new rig and noticed spotty reception on a 389 carhauler xm, but with the antenna mounted under the head rack I didn't expect much. Does the xm antenna have enough excess cable to move the antenna out any? If not I may go back to mounting my aftermarket Terex up on top of the safety cable post. Does the concert class stereo have a plug on the back for a standard xm antenna to be plugged in or is it factory antenna specific?

 

Also do you know how to adjust the separate clock mounted in the dash? I assume it's with the dial for the diagnostics but I haven't spent much time with it yet. Thanks

 

It has a little, not much. We move them as close to the mirror mounting bolt as it'll fit without modifying anything and it helps a lot. That tube is smaller diameter so cut a piece of hose just a little longer than the antenna to fill the gap. I forget what size hose fits over that tube, you'd have the measure the tube.

The clock I am not sure about, you should be able to download the operator manual right from Pete's web site.

 

Ok thanks for your help.
