I'm hoping someone on here has a good minimally invasive solution here. I have a 2010 Focus, and I have mounted my Lil Wil on the trunk lid, running the coax down the front edge into the trunk then up to the radio. The issue I have is going thru the car wash the other day I had a lot of water...

This is the power supply. There is a ground lug on the case of it, I have a 8ga wire (the same I am using for power/ground supply) going to this lug from one bracket screw of the 88HL which is attached to the top of the 939 with hardware strap to all 4 bracket screws, so the exterior case of...

No, it is a base setup. I have a DX88HL in the same setup, it doesn't have the same issue.

The sound on the FRS radio sounds like the noise on CB 16, a high pitch whine.

I figured this would fit here better than the FRS section, since it is an issue from the CB. I tried posting a video but it keeps saying "file too large" at under 50MB, but it is my FRS radio on ch15, and it is picking up something from the DX939 unless I touch the faceplate of the CB. The...

:LOL: Flip a coin?

Slowmover - That top tie-down is the exact thing I have, bought it on Amazon when I bought the whip. As far as I know, that resistor is still there. The guy tuned it up, but didn't clip anything. That'd be awesome to fine them for $10.. I do not know where any ham fests are in the area, I'm a...

I'm thinking some of you missed the point of why I want it - not worried about corona effect, I'm only running a tuned Cobra 25. I need it to clip the antenna down to the corner of the windshield frame so I can fit thru a door a couple inches taller than my CJ5 is. That, and the parking garage I...

OK... 24.99 + $30 shipping, 9.99 handling = $69.33 total.. I can get them from Amazon for under $45 shipped. BUUUUTTTT...... DX Engineering location, free pickup.. Address: 1200 Southeast Ave, Tallmadge, OH 44278 They are inside Summit Racing Equipment, about 45 minutes from me....... If I...

So a rod tip would work too... Never thought of something like that. It wouldn't throw anything off? And thanks for the link, I'll be checking that out!

Where do you folks find them for so cheap? Everywhere I look, they're $40-$45+ and then add shipping... If I found them for $20, I'd probably buy 2 to make the shipping worth it. The last one I bought on Amazon came in a PVC tube with caps on the end, so 2 would fit in it easily.

I had to ask the seller what size those balls are, they're 5/8" OD..... Man, I'd really hate to have to buy another antenna, $45+ a piece plus shipping...

Are there any sources for these? I know, odd question, but when my garage door and my 102" met last night, the door pulled that ball off, now I cannot tie it down for low clearance places (my garage!)..

I don't want anything too fancy looking - it is a 78 CJ5 with a soft top and no locks. If I did get a GMRS, it would probably be mounted inside the console or something out of sight. A CB by itself wouldn't bring too much attention, but 2 mics hanging on the dash, etc might.

Maybe I can convince a co-worker who travels from the next city South to try a setup - I have a spare mini CB with a K30 (whatever is the equivalent of the Lil Wil) with a cig plug... Then we could chat on the way in. I've noticed a trend away from CB to FMRS or something similar in the Jeep...

I've actually seen guys put black silicone in gouges of the sidewalls to hide the cords...

I believe I have heard you out there, just never was able to reach you over the rest. Mainly hearing Florida or Georgia over everyone else. Locally back in the late 90s I was the "Little Warrior", as there was already a "Warrior" on 19, but I always hung out on 23 or 13. Have just recently...

I was actually able to talk to a couple guys out in Noble OK the other day. First time I have heard skip from somewhere other than the East coast, mainly FL and GA. 409 Sam, in Noble, and his neighbor who never ID'd himself. They said I was coming in over most of the noise, made me feel good...
