Going to check that hinge out
But not so sure it’s not the coax I’m using
Did 3 installs this weekend
1-using a hustler magnum HQ-27 antenna with the chrome shop coax .... tuned in perfect
2- Older perterbilt using this Davis RF coax I’ve been buying (RG 8x ) Didnt tune so well.. oh yeah Wilson 2000
3- 2016 Peterbilt, Wilson 2000 and some Wilson super 8x coax, tuned very well .....
So I’m thinking this stuff I have is not so great
Going to find out hopefully next week
Just ordered 100 ft of Belden RF 8x to give it a try
My truck right now has the Davis RF coax in it, I think I fighting a battle with the antenna and it’s not the antenna
Wilson trucker 2000

I personally woulda went with lmr240 ultra flex..
Timin770 Thanks this. -
-
Chk out my vids on youtube under same name...Peek at the vids labeled as coax routeing and the update..
I hate drilling holes n such so i find ways to do stuff without drilling in company truck.. -
I have 15 trucks that I’ve been routing for years now, and always run the same route as stock
I’ll pull all the panels before I drill anything
That’s not a problem
Was just wondering about the LMR240 and how it was to run through the truck (flexibility )
You did mention that you ran your coax at a length of 11ft 4 in
How did you come up with that number ? -
I was given a formula for coax length but length is a debate that will go on for 10,000 yrs...I got it written down in my truck so when i go back to work later today ill snap a pic.. -
Interested to see what you have -
492 times VF divided by frequency = coax length.
492 x .66 (rg 58 velocity factor of 66%), = 324.72 ÷ 27.205 (channel 20) = 11.9 feet.
Or call it 12 ft length of coax, close enough. Unless your Craig...Lol...just kidding. -
LMR 240 UF is all I buy now. I also use the formula
-
Thats the formula i have im pretty sure...And no,im the only craig sez...(as the crowd breaths a sigh of relief)..The only thing that would change is the vf of the coax you run..I did take a pic of my formula in my book but couldnt remember this thread till now..Sence i also deleted my pic to..lol
