I connected a handheld telescopic whip to the rear of my transmitter with a pl259 to bnc right angle and made a 9 foot tiger tale to drop out the window of the second floor and it has better range for half the price than a tram 1499. It is truely over hyped snake oil and i love tram . There maybe a use but i cant figure it out..

Where can I buy only MR500 antenna without radio? It looks like NR-770R and visually I would have the same antennas for 10/11 and 2/70 ;-)

I know this video is't about the mount specifically but I run a 102" whip on that 3 magnet roof mount on top of my F250. I live in west columbia and talked to a guy from my driveway to a guy in Sandy run around 15 miles or so away as the crow flies. Clear as a bell. Sounded almost like we were talking on cellphones. The magnet mound holds that whip solid as a rock at 70 mph no issues. Matter of fact, when I remove it to clean (dry) the paint it takes a *VERY DELIBERATE* action to say the least. I would recomend it regardless what antenna you want to run. If it will hold mine it will hold anything else.

Doing it's job and it's great you got it up on a rotator. Always favored "Loop" elements over parasitic (yagi) ones. They are better performers and much quieter. Your 3 element delta loop likely gives you some dbd gain. Your also getting rid of qrm via the backdoor. The silver rod .. Is that the half-wave you got that's made in the UK? Just me, but I thought it and the v58a were both decent performers.

I have a 1/2 wave Siler rod, But I'm not impressed with it. I also have a Maco V58, and an Antron A-99 But I prefer the Tram 1498 I used in this video.

As far as the CB thing goes .. Mower Junkie is deep into it like I was 40+ years ago. Old time 11 meter Dx'er. It is a fun hobby. Might find a broken rig someday for parts. A lot of knobs are similar too. I bought a V58A, but haven't got anything to put it up on yet. Once I get something I'll put the thing together and stick it up. Some years (over 10 I think) ago I bought a Ranger SS-158edx. I hook it up to my short wave antenna sometimes and listen. 11 Meters has been wide open at times. You might hear me sometime Mower Junkie. Hello Barbara.
