SCREWDRIVER ANTENNA MOUNTS!

the STRONGEST YOU CAN BUY!!
Places your antenna up high where it
will radiate most effectively.

 

 

 

GeoTool makes the PERFECT mount for Little Tarheel II, Tarheel Model 75A "Stubby", HI-Q  Hi-Sierra Sidekick, MFJ-1662, and any other Screwdriver Antenna utilizing a 3/8"-24 single point mount system. The strong, clean design of the ISM-1 Screwdriver Antenna Mount is shown above, with a 3/8"-24 mounting bolt. Simply screw your antenna onto the mount, and plug in the control line. Your coax attaches inside the mount using the same solderless connectors as our other HF mounts.  This really is the strongest, and best grounded mount for this purpose.  It puts the antenna up where the whole length will radiate.  Click here for installation instructions and more photos.

  • Body made from high strength Delrin.
  • 1.5"X3.0" long, and cut from solid Delrin bar stock.
  • Excellent RF isolation and low base capacitance (tune up on lower frequencies)
  • Stainless steel 3/8"-24 threaded inserts on both ends of mount for long thread life. 
  • Stainless Steel 3/8"-24 antenna hardware for minimum maintenance. Includes light duty coupling nut with 1/2" flutes (use with 102" stainless steel or fiberglass CB whip antennas, or even Hustler antennas).
  • Heavy duty coupling nut (as shown in photo on left, above) is also available (add $6.00.)
  • 3/32" stainless steel hot lead is also available (add $2.49) (Shown above is slightly larger 1/8" version which is no longer available.  It was just too hard to work with.)
  • Stainless steel 1.5" diameter base support washer. ( Not provided with version for Stake Pocket mounts because it is not needed.)
  • Standard 3/8" solderless connector included for initial setup and testing. Stainless steel wire is recommended for permanent connections.
  • Modeled after a design presented in QST by AA4PB. 
  • Works great with inexpensive whips like the Radio Shack stainless steel CB Whip (available for about $20.00.)
  • A larger, Heavy Duty Delrin Insulator is now Available.  2.0"x4.0" with two threaded inserts in each end, and a 2" long threaded stud installed.  Can also be used with 3/8" cap screws for anchoring to a metal or wood support.
  • See the AA4PB Tuner Controller Interface for use with Icom and Alinco Radios and SGC Antenna Couplers.  I have used one for four years now, and highly recommend it. It works great!

MOUNT SELECTION CHART

The chart below shows the approximate dimensions of our mounts. Be sure to include the measurements of your stake pocket in your order. All mounts are slightly smaller than the stake pocket on purpose, and a snug fit is obtained by shimming the top of the mount with plastic electrical tape. This avoids the problem of oversize mounts caused by variations in the manufacturing of the trucks.

When you order, please list the stake pocket dimensions, particularly the depth, and the make, model and year of your truck..... That's all I need to fit you with the correct mount.

Mount prices have changed due to increases in the price of parts and labor.  Prices now also reflect the amount of aluminum in the mount and the amount of time spent machining. The prices for each mount are shown below. 

To see if our mounts will fit your truck, refer to the chart below.

*  Top measurement.

**All VHF mounts are 5.75 INCHES long. Spacers (stainless steel washers) are provided with all mounts to align the top of the mount even with the top of the bed rail.  Because pocket depths vary, it is important to give me the depth as accurately as you can.  The top dimensions almost always fit, but it is a good idea to send them along too.

***The inside portion of the Pre-2006± Tundra mount is 1.5x2.1 inches, the inside is offset flush with either the inside or outside of the top opening. Check your stake pocket and you will see the narrower bottom portion.  The 'H' model fits these trucks

 

Shipping:  $5.00 for 1 to 2 mounts
                  $9.00 for two to four mounts

All mounts are shipped via USPS Priority Mail

Other Ordering Information

 

Use the mount block dimension chart above see which mount fits your truck.  Be sure to check the stake pockets on your truck for not only size, but for the internal brackets that our mounts attach to.  Some new trucks do not have an internal bracket. The only ones I know of right now are the 2010 and 2011 crew cab Fords with the Short (5.5'±) bed.  The long bed version still has internal brackets.  Scroll down to read more about this problem.  It may be possible to use our mounts with these trucks, but some modification to the bed rail cap, and additional parts for mounting, will be required.

 

When you order, the most important information I need:


1.    The make and model of your truck

2.    The Depth from the top of the bed rail to the bottom of

       the internal bracket (important)

3.    The length of bed

4.    The type of antenna(s) you will be using,

5.    Your email address.

 

I will then send you a Money Request through the PayPal system.  If you don't have a PayPal account, this system allows you to pay using a credit card without joining PayPal.  If you do have a PayPal account, you can pay with that also.  Of course, you can still send a check or money order in the mail to pay for your mounts too.  Our address is:

NOTICES
August 7, 2011 
 

2010 and 2011 Ford Short (±5.5ft long) Bed

Ford did not include the inner stake pocket brackets on these trucks.  In addition, But the new short bed trucks have a solid plastic bed-rail cap.  The cap is installed with plastic or metal clips, which go into square holes all along the top of the bed rail.  A good picture of the situation is shown on this web site:

 

http://www.fordf150.net/photos/f150-stuff/p46250-stake-pockets.html

 

As you can see from the link above, the truck does have stake holes in the top of the bed rail.  I am working on a method to install our mounts in the rear pockets on these trucks.  The system will only work on the rear pockets. 

 

Fortunately the long bed version of their trucks has the standard stake pockets that fit our mounts, and they do have brackets installed to hold our mounts.  I will post more information here when I finalize the design for these trucks.
