Can I repair the mount for my Yaesu ATAS 120 ??

The mount for my Yaesu ATAS has gone loose. It won't tighten. Let's see if I can make it better together.

Bond the box to the bed, the bed to the frame, the cab to the frame, the hood to the frame and the exhaust to the frame. Will drop your noise floor and make your swr lower. KE6VG

I have the bonding strap to do it. I tried once to get to it and got distracted and now it is way to hot. I will update once I find a cooler day in the fall. PS thats the reason I have not done anything with my new Yaesu ft500 either. It is still in the box because it needs to go in my truck and it is just to hot. Thanks for watching !!!

Thank you. I love it too. I have not dismounted and used it much but when I do I love it.

Can you link the SO239 and the beefier nuts? Appreciate the videos, I'm going to mount my atas near about exactly like you have yours.

The bracket is too thin and small and therefore prone to vibration. I would replace the bracket to one double the size/thickness.

I had the same thought, way later in the day. But so far so good. If I see anymore problems thats my plan.
