CB / Ham Antenna mounts
Hello been in contact with Jerry Breedlove a Ham
he's going to have a new antenna mount for the ford ranger very soon https://breedlovemounts.com/ See this EZN 4 degree bracket this is a stake pocket mount but it has a 4% so antenna will sit upright. Last time i talked he says it be out end of this week.:ford: |
The stuff looks good, the Ball Mount is impressive.
I have book marked his site, thanks. Remember to add a ground strap (⅝” or larger braided strap) to the mount or at least the bed to frame and don’t forget the infamous bare metal thing. |

I use 3/8" braided straps added to all of the above places, does it help, not really sure but I talk a lot on the HAM Radio without any problems but that ins FM not AM. Luck on your project. |

Tire noise is very hard to stop from what i have seen on line.
But i only had one car that had it. It's a shame radioshack don't sale the filters they used to have all you can find any more is snap on toroids in small parts. They need a name change |
The Rat Shaq was never any good, except for small parts, as far as I am concerned; another story.
Funny on the tire noise, sometimes sipping the tread ! lol. You can find anything Rat Shaq had/has on line, there are always helpful sites, some for just CB use or HAM Sites. If they went away it would be no loss. Ltr |
