VHF-1 with S0-239
(Also Available, VHF-2 with NMO)
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Our VHF-1 (SO-239) and VHF-2 (NMO) Geotool Pickup-Truck Antenna Mounts are designed for
RG-8 MINI coaxial cable. A hollow, 9/16" diameter bolt
attaches the mounts to the stake pocket on the bed of your truck.
9/16" washers are used to adjust the height of the mount.
- The coaxial cable is routed either out the
front or rear of the stake pocket through any of several available
openings, and then into the cab, by any of a number of commonly used
techniques.
- Special coaxial cable connectors are available
which will allow removal of the mount for installation of camper shells,
etc. Watch the web page for details.
- Our standard GeoTool HF mount, with
3/8"x24 threads will accept Co-Linear antennas (Such as the Hustler
CT-144) for single band use. These antennas have very high gain
(5.1db for the CT-144), but are rather large and limited to one
band. The standard mount can be also used with a number of popular
HF antennas.
- Our Mounts now come in sizes that should fit
most stake pockets. Some shimming of the top of the mount, using
common plastic electrical tape, is required to stabilize the mount.
- Shimming materials are included which will
allow minimal use of electrical tape for those stake pocket holes that
are slightly larger. Our mounts are made to fit all variations of
mount sizes, so they may be just a bit small for your stake pocket.
- It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the
bolt hole in the bottom of the stake pocket to allow the 9/16" bolt
to fit properly. This can be easily accomplished using a round
file, or a drill.
- Some stake pockets do not have a 5/8"
anchor bolt hole, and this must be drilled by the user. See the
PDF version of our instructions for suggestions on drilling this
hole. Our new mounts have 1/2" anchor bolts, but we are
trying to sell the 9/16" anchor bolt versions first.
- Our mounts fit trucks with straight sided
stake pockets. Tapered stake pockets, sometimes found in the
center of long-bed trucks, will not allow the mount to enter
properly. Be sure to check all dimensions carefully prior to
ordering to ensure a proper fit.
