    President McKinley Personal Review

    You could take a couple dollars worth of quarters and tape them together and stick inside that big open hole and give'er some heft! Kinda like the SRA 198's!:D

    Beware of this type of ebay auction

    If you really like those wood covers...you can buy just the covers and put them on your own Cobra 2K...Just depends on how much you think they are worth, because the guy that makes them apparently think they are worth more than the radio...

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    Mounted where you have it now? With a 27" shaft it "MIGHT" tune a bit lower, but like I said earlier, you still have almost two feet of antenna next to the cab. One thing about all the Predator Antennas is, everything on the antenna is just screwed together... The coil section screws onto the...

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    This is true! The original idea for the 22 and 27" shafts was for guys to mount the antenna on toolbox's or behind the cab to the top of the bed rail...The taller shafts were never meant to be used on roof tops... The 22" works good on trunk lid mounts...provided you have a car that has a metal...

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    Word of advice if you go this route...Toolbox's are not grounded! And it can be time consuming to get a good ground on one...It's almost impossible to get a good enough ground on a toolbox's lid, since the lid is just held on by some hinges with a rod running through...You would need to run...

    Roof mounted, I would stay away from anything shorter than 12"...Personally I think the 17" shaft is perfect for roof mounting...22 and 27" shafts will tune lower on the roof, but are also easier to get broke off the roof because you have just too much solid antenna sticking up that wont bend...

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    Shouldn't be a problem...there should be a place for your wrench on the top part of the lower shaft, then what I do is take a rag and wrap it around the insulator under the coil and then place a pair of vice-grip pliers over the rag so the teeth of the pliers don't scratch up the...

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    27" lower shaft will probably tune a little better, getting the coil a little more above the roof...but your still going to have almost two feet of antenna below the roof line.

    Help with Monkey Made antenna

    IMO....(and I can say this because I have every version of the Predator Antenna's ever made) You just can't beat the original Predator Single-Coil 10K when it comes to tuning and performance period... I have known Kale now since around 2000, and the guy builds one heck of a antenna, and now at...
