Hearkening back to the days of yore...

[Truckman]

Waiting on the first pics of the install.

I'm writing a pictorial how-to (or in my case, maybe how-not-to)...All the step-by-step pics will be there when it's published...

I used that kind of mount on my truck.

I'm sure I just don't completely understand coaxial cable, but the tech sheet said make sure your mounting surface is grounded, then they showed how to use the nylon insulator bushings which I followed exactly...The puzzling part is that the metal ring inside both cable ends seems to be in contact with the steel mount...I don't understand why the signal is not just absorbed into the body...

Also the antennas will be 89 inches apart, not the preferred nine feet the purists demand, but then the truck would be wider than the legal limit...But it's well over the minimum 60 inches that Firestik specified......Ben
