I had one of those Tram 3500's yrs ago and was a great antenna. As good as a Wilson 1000 imho. Maybe better. Eventually, it got moisture in it and corroded inside so I had to get rid of it. If I ever bought another one I'd seal it anywhere rain could possibly get in. Great antenna. Strong magnet also.This might be a old thread but I just put a Tram 3500 5" mag-mount on top of my Little Chevy Cobalt and have almost a Flat-Line SWR across the 11 meter band. Only channel 1 twitches a little and I don't care about channel 1 anyway. Just put it on but hearing like never before. Time will tell. I'm no expert but I have always felt like Center of the roof is the only place for me!
Thanks for the input. Yeah maybe my Black RTV is a good idea for insurance. I got a bad taste in my mouth for Wilson years ago when I put a Wilson Lil-Wil on the roof of my car and never could get happy with the SWR (Fussy) So I put a Tram 300 on and straightened right out. They are basically the same antenna and even the rubber boot from the Tram fits the Lil-Wil but they must be electrically a little different in the base load. Now with the Tram 3500 SWR I am over the Top Bonkers with Tram. Maybe I got Lucky. Too bad I don't get lucky with that Hot Babe I've been seeing.
