Cool. Well the reason was I got it about a year ago, and while I knew it was told to me it was for ham, They told me ham antenna's could generally be used for cb as well. So I got it and after getting sick of seeing it laying around, I picked up on the hobbie. Mind you the only piece of equipment I owned was a 510XL mobile and the 2 meter antenna.. I Got into the hobbie and started out purchasing the coax, ends ect... And the bill went up quite quickly. Then I got a 142gtl and had no mic so All expenses kept adding up and I still to date dont have a working base setup.. Being new to cb I didnt know lol. Figured they all are poles and it could be converted to work.. Any how.. Here are the picures.. I've sent them to the guy who sold it to me without response back. I do however believe he honestly didnt know. I connected it outside just freestanding in the yard.. without the longer groundrails and the swr was like 1.5 which seems good and it gets out, so hopefully this wont make a difference.. But on this model the antenna's aluminum ring is flimbsy and cheap anyways so when It does go.. Hopefully the new ones didnt skimp on the aluminum !
can you order the ring for this antenna? Looks like a washer would help support it..but would that throw off the swr?
