MODEL HFI-1 The latest
addition to our line. This insulator is designed for use with any
antenna coupler such as the SG-237. The black Delrin insulator,
stainless mounting hardware, and a solderless connector are included as
shown in the photograph. Connecting wires and antenna are not included.
This mount has stainless steel
thread reducing inserts inside to securely anchor the delrin mount
using
a 3/8"-24 bolt. Top mounting hardware is also 3/8"-24. The insulator is
now available in White.

MODEL VHF-1 - Large
and small antennas work well with the SO-239 adaptor on the Model
VHF1-x antenna mount. Here a 2m quarter-wave whip is in service. Short
antennas like the quarter-wave are excellent for local repeater use.
They often
outperform higher gain antennas which have a much lower angle of
radiation.

ANTENNA SYSTEM
(From Ross
H. in Florida)
Photo of
the
VHF-1 in Ross's truck. He is using a shortened mast and a 3 band
Hustler resonator adaptor. Our antenna mount works well with any
antenna with a 3/8"-24 mounting thread, including Outbacker (ask for
the modification to install a ground screws on the top
of the mount), Hamstick, firestick, and CB whip antennas.

YAESU
ATAS-100 SCREWDRIVER ANTENNA
A perfect
match for the VHF1-x. This antenna uses the S0-239 version of the
GeoTool Mount. Most bands can be easily loaded to near 1.1:1 resonance.
Reportedly, some bands may require manual tuning to get them close, but
then the memory in the Yaesu antenna
system will return to the correct setting the next time the band is
selected.

LOOP ANTENNA
MOUNT
With the
Model SM-1 Grounded Stud Mount
A great
application of the grounded stud mount. Here a
Hustler mast is with a KB6KQ loop
antenna attached. The mount mast is grounded to the truck through
the anchor bolt, providing a perfect installation for the antenna.

MOUNT
With the
Model SM-1 Grounded Stud Mount
A close up
of the base of the SM-1 Grounded Stud Mount. The mount has all the
features of the HF-1 and HF-2 mounts, with the exception that the
coupling
bolt is grounded to the body of the mount. It can be used with
the coupling nut shown here, or without it to mount to a screwdriver
antenna. (Not used with the ATAS-100 which requires the SO-239 mount.
