101sean Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yes, I've done it and it works fine. Didn't even need tuning, just used two sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101sean Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I took some photo's for someone else a while ago. When you get the base, make sure it come with the screw in grommet that secures the centre conductor, it's sometimes missing. Use standard screened cable and pare back about 3" of the outer sheath and braid.Twist the braid and secure it to one of the base mounting bolts, you can see I've used a crimped ring connector. The photo's are pretty self explanatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The anttenna itself should not be earthed, but the mounting base should be. The antenna mustn't have electrical contact with the mounting - the rubber mushroom is an excellent isolator as well as a flexible mount. The metal clamp in the top of the mushroom only toushes the antenna, not the base of the mounting, so is electriaclly isolated. Screening as much of the antenna cable as possible is important to avoid interference. The military whip antennas can be cut down once fitted to tune the length with an SWR meter in exactly the same way as a standard CB antenna.

Boeleni Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Any chance of a part number or the name of the screw in connector for the bottom of the no.31 base? Looking for 2 but can't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
