More junk from Bob's CB shop.

You think they "Kw" know better!

I run Kw for the last 15 years and i always had water infiltration issues....

The shop that i deal with have to go through each & every new T680 they sell water is entering thru flood light....

 

The problem is the curved glass on the outer edges of the window pillars.
They have the same problem with T600

 

I've gotten a bunch already made, they are not as easy as just having a shop throw them together. I will end up selling them when I get a couple more designed and made for different mounts.

A while ago I bought a couple made by 'spymaster' in Texas, they didn't seal right, or the bunch I got didn't. I found out that he swedged the center seals in wrong, and he used cheap insulation. I guess he sold a lot of them because he claimed he made enough money to build a huge 20kw amp.

I made a few mno mounts a long time ago that can be mounted onto a post or something, trying to think where they are, I forgot all about them.

the nice thing of what I do as a driver for all kind of shops is to allow me to barter for machining work, so getting 10 of something isn't normally a problem.

 

You all make too much out of it.
I got the Cascadia ss mount and Predator antanae, had someone at Bob's set the SWR's , swapped trucks and never tuned the antanae and it works great. Coax is old, doesn't matter

 

I'd love to see a picture of one whenever you scrounge one up. Let us know what the prices are and I'm sure a bunch of us would like to buy some

 

Not everybody is a perfectionist and most people think a 36 ohm pl259 connector is perfectly fine.
There are some of us that prefer to keep everything 50 ohms from the radio to the feed point of the antenna though.

 

With the nmo mounts I found they do work ok with the 2 meter antennas on the work truck bird perch and personal truck fender mount.. The longest of the antennas is 59" nowhere near the wind load as some of the cb antennas

 

I have it currently removed from the work truck as am changing to a new one in the next few weeks and it is easier to change stuff out at home than at the yard. I got the mounts nmo mounts for both from The Antenna Farm you can pull up pictures from their website, I'll see if I can pictures later. I used the Laird no ground 1/2 wave antenna for the work truck. I don't think it does as well as the 5/8 wave antenna I used before but that was on W900L's and T800 which were more antenna friendly than the Cascadia's I drive now. I used a 5/8 wave for the fender mount antenna on my pick up and it does a good job.
