Questions & Answers
Antennas up to 36" do not present any problem for me. If I have to remove it, it is difficult for me to do so. It might work well with your 60-inch antenna, I would venture to guess
An antenna with a size of 3/8 inch can be used in this base There are 24 threads on the tram 3700, and it has them. You're good to go once you've purchased it!
My guess is that it won't be much more than two inches.
The radio should perform as it should if it has a SO-A There is a connector 139.

The Firestick I have is 2' long with a quick detach feature. Additionally, I pulled the rubber scratch boot off because I didn't care about it and the ground is a bit better. I rolled on the freeway after tuning the antenna and getting a perfect 0 reading on channel 20. With this set, we are rolling at 85 mph. There will be no slippage if you are up. Although the roof was a bit wet from the snow, I dried it as much as I could using a towel. A heavy-duty vehicle Set of duties - This one is up, no slip, and it Wouldn't it be great if you had everything you wanted?.
In details, a 2017 Ram 1500 (all-steel roof) has a mount mounted in the center of the roof. Using a lightweight stick of Francis fiberglass with a small diameter, the antenna measures three feet wide. I also used a Firestick heavy spring between the antenna and the mount at first. To begin with, let's look at In spite of falling off the roof of my pickup truck six times, the base has not been damaged. There is not a single loose cable, the construction is excellent. The bad news is now here. My antenna fell off on a smooth highway twice while traveling at 60 mph, so I removed the spring because it became too windy. fell off a further four times at speeds ranging from 65 mph to 75 mph, all while driving on a smooth highway with no other vehicles in sight. good thing is that the antenna is always landed on the bed cover, so it stays on until I have time to pull over, since the cable runs directly behind the mount, behind the cab. Because it hasn't fallen off the side of the truck or another vehicle, or isn't smashed through a windshield, it is lucky. Because of the safety concerns with this mount, I will contact Amazon to request a refund and return.
Overall, it has a good design with a rubber protector that doesn't scratch the surface. The electrical connection is made by pressure from the 3/8-24 center bolt and the nut assembly crushing down on the coax shield with the plastic spacer and then the center conductor is sandwiched between the washer and the nut which is then connected to the magnetic cover. It means that, if the assembly becomes loose, the TX and RX will be noisy, rendering communication practically The pressure on this can only be applied for a limited amount of time before it breaks. Having worked as an antenna technician for 40 years, I'll be updating the fix as soon as possible.
Object of attraction The antenna holds up at 90 mph with a 2' fiberglass cable, but it takes a lot of effort to remove it. A fiberglass antenna that is 3' high - I feel like that It's a must I'll be fine with that. The threads are It is a standard size and is NB *NB Cable This is a nice, straightening cord that is standard in connection and has a good There is no right or wrong length for a message, but it depends on its purpose. You may want to bring an additional 5' - 10' extension cord with a male to male adapter On each end is a 10' cable If you are needed during installation, just be sure to hand over a check if the installation went smoothly. Generally speaking, overall performance is as follows The headset doesn't provide a gentle massage or a gentle caress upon my feet at night, but it does allow me to converse with others on the freeway, so it meets its purpose. I am satisfied.
I tried this base with a 4-inch tube Foot Firestik you can mount and tune As soon as the antenna was in contact with a low hanging branch, the magnetic base came off the roof and banged against the sides My antenna had a spring between it and the base. The antenna might work better if it were more flexible, but it didn't work well.
In general, I found the product to be fantastic, and I had a wonderful signal from my truck roof, but one does have to be aware of strong branches from trees. Magnets strong enough for antennas up to 3 feet are not strong enough when antennas are 35 feet or more The coax cable is ripped out and the magnetic base is destroyed when the vehicle hits a tree branch at 45 mph. It had been a smooth ride up to that point. The next antenna will be much smaller and much much more distance from the ground. The stronger signal has been replaced with a bed mount. Voici the recommendation A tree should be avoided.
Mounts like this do exactly what they are meant to do The antenna should be held to As far as I know, it does what it should. I mounted this on a 2011 Dodge Caliber with a Uniden 505 paired to a You can't get it off at 80+ miles per hour. We were able to achieve a SWR of The number one on all channels - This is more of a function of the radio and antennae, but the mount is helpful. Despite the mount giving me enough cable, I was able to run the cable through the hatch and all the way up front with some extra For a starter mount, I was satisfied with it overall. It's a great deal for the price. I'm probably going to get a bigger one in the future to mount a longer antenna.
This new antenna mount is an excellent replacement. I will not define the word "just slightly" within the context of this critique. As it is a huge and powerful magnet, I don't suspect I will run into the same problems in the future.
