It claims 7/8 wave? Whats the feedpoint like?

Solid brass.

Surprised at the power rating. Thats a lot of voltage at the feed.

The TEXAS may be going out of production.

Hell there all 3/8 need one to put on the so239!!!

I guess I need to hurry up and grab one.

Bells cb has them on sale...

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Along with the McKinley I’ve been eyeing for my son.

PRESIDENT shows an impressive increase in the warranty when radio & antenna purchased together. Five years, unless I’m mistaken. (It was in company product announcements).

Thats almost enough time for Undertaker to let them age on the shelf.

Bottled in bond.

Circuitry barely kissed by fine Honduran cigar smoke. Warming up the Johnny Hartman radio voice.

Seems I’ve started a Living Museum Diorama of (new, unused) Mobile Antennas in a bedroom corner.

Is this (gulp) how it starts, Bobby?

[undertaker]

Um yes sir it is!!!!

 

[Slowmover]

Is this on an aluminum FORD roof out near the Concho River?

I bought a 3/8-24 to S)-239 adapter from DX Engineering to adapt one mount to whatever antenna I use at the time. I installed one K-400 mount on the rear of my truck and use the SO-239 mount for my 2m/70cm was antenna and when I switch to 6m or HF I use the adapter with it as they are 3/8-24. Best of both worlds. Some day I might install a second antenna but for now it works fine. The adapter is REALLY heavy so no worries with even large HF antennas

Was it the COMET AD-35M?
