Get a tuner for 2/70 (or whatever band(s) you transmit on) and tune it at your leisure whenever you need it. You tune by shortening/lengthening the antenna rod until you have the lowest SWR across each band.True...researching how to do it. Any quick tips you have?

Thanks for the info. I actually did it the old fashion way of checking the squelch when I lengthened and shorten the antenna. Not the best way but it did in a pinch.... Went on a trail ride today and the new antenna and spring worked like a champ. Very pleased with the purchase.Get a tuner for 2/70 (or whatever band(s) you transmit on) and tune it at your leisure whenever you need it.

I have this one.

On the trail today I also tested out the new Mic extension cable I made. Didn't want to purchase a 3 meter or 5 meter extension cable since I only needed 2 feet. So into the network leftover box and got some ethernet cable and RJ45 coupler and voila.....I bent my HAM antenna on the trail the other day through dense brush and trees. Sooooo... to remedy this (I hope) I purchase a similar spring mount solution to what you see for CB antennas...you know...those long antennas wagging back and forth, back and forth as they drive down the road.
Now I have a new Larsen antenna with the optional SpringB steel shock spring .
I'll see how much I "wag" on the trail tomorrow... LOL

It looks like it's swallowing your rig....Tepui Autana 4, Leer 100XL Shell and Thule Bars. I, of course, had to immediately set it up in the parking lot to satisfy my excitement. I knew it was big, but it is HUGE in person.

I can’t find a whole lot of info on peters mill run. What is the trail like? I’m in NC and am considering a trip up that way to check it outInstalled an Odyssey Extreme battery and a Uniden CMX760 CB. Then did a nice drive through Fort Valley area of Front Royal and hit up Taskers Gap and Peters Mills Run.

Oh yeah. Not messing around. The most panels I can fit without drilling into the roof. [emoji41] For now. I could do 3 additional panels forward of these. [emoji6]
