SCREWDRIVER ANTENNA MOUNTS!
the strongest you can buy!!
 Places your antenna up high where it
will radiate most effectively.

  
ISM-1 Mount for Screwdriver Antennas

 

 

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 or SO-239 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 is permanently attached to the adapter inside the mount using the same solderless connectors as our other HF mounts.  This really is the strongest, and best grounded mount for pickup trucks.  It puts the antenna up where the whole length will radiate. Click here for installation instructions and more photos.

 Download Here - Insulator Instructions and Diagram (pdf)

       Standard 1.5"X3.0"  or 2.0"x4.0" Insulator Features:

·        Excellent RF isolation and low base capacitance (tune up on lower freqs.)

·        Can also be attached to a metal or wood support for fixed location use.

·        The 1.5"x3.0" insulator has one stainless steel 3/8"-24 threaded inserts on each end for long thread life.  3/8"-24 fittings screw into steel, not Delrin.  

·           The larger, Heavy Duty Delrin Insulator (2.0"x4.0") has two threaded inserts in each  end, and a 2" long threaded stud installed. 

·             Stainless Steel hardware for minimum maintenance. Except NMO fittings (Brass,) and SO-239 fittings (chrome plated brass.)

·             Whip antenna mounts supplied with light duty 3/8"-24 coupling nut with 1/2" flutes (for use with 102" stainless steel CB whips, and Hustler style antennas).

·             Heavy duty coupling nut, as shown in photo on left, above - add $6.00.

·             A 3/32" brass or stainless steel hot lead for Delrin Insulator mounts - add $3.49.

·            Stainless steel 1.5" diameter base support washer for Delrin Insulator (for uses other than GeoTool mounts.

·             3/8" solderless connector included for initial setup and testing. Copper, 1/8" brass or stainless steel wire is recommended for permanent connections.

·              Insulators are modeled after a design presented in QST by AA4PB. 

·               Works great with Radio Shack stainless steel CB Whip (available for about $20.00.)  Also use with coil loaded antennas, such as Hustler, etc.  Not recommended for fiberglass antennas with thin wire conductors. High currents cause small antenna wire inside the fiberglass to melt.

·             I highly recommend the AA4PB Tuner Controller Interface for use with Icom and Alinco Radios and SGC Antenna Couplers. I've used one for many years, and highly recommend it. It works great. However, I believe they are no longer made. You might find one on Ebay.

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.

ALL MOUNT BODIES and ANTENNA ADAPTORS ARE CURRENTLY IN STOCK

*  Top dimensions

**All VHF mount bodies are 5.75 INCHES long. Anchor bolt spacers (stainless steel washers, or Schedule 80 Aluminum tubing + washers) are provided, based on your stake pocket depth measurement, to align the top of teh mount even with the top of the bed rail.  Because pocket depths vary, it is important to tell 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.

***Tundra mounts only - The inside portion of the Pre-2006± Tundra mount is 1.5x2.1 inches, smaller than the top dimensions. The inside is offset flush with one side of the top. Check your stake pocket and you will see the narrower bottom portion.  The 'H' model fits these trucks.

 

Shipping:  $  7.50 for 1 to 2 mounts
          $ 13.00 for two or more mounts
Email me for prices on Canada or other country shipping.

All mounts are shipped via USPS Priority Mail      
                             

To Order from GeoTool:


1.   E-mail the information listed below to rickc@geotool.com

2.   OR you may FAX your order to (851) 587-0447


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: Please send the following information I need:


1.  The Make and Model of your truck
2.  The Depth of the stake pocket measured from the top of the bed rail
3.  The Length of bed
4.  The Type of Antenna(s) you will be using,
5.  Your Email Address.
Email, fax, or mail your order using the address or fax number below.
You can pay using a check, PayPal, or a credit card (through the PayPal system).

NOTICES
September 16, 2018
 

2010 on, Ford Short (±5.5ft long) Bed

Ford did not include the inner stake pocket brackets on these trucks.  This also affects most of the new 'Sporty' looking F-150's.  These trucks have a solid plastic bed-rail cap, with no removable covers where the stake pocket 'should' be. The cap is installed with plastic or metal clips, which go into square holes all along the top of the bed rail. 

 

Fortunately the long bed (Fleet Style) versions of the Ford trucks has the standard stake pockets that fit our mounts, and they do have brackets installed to hold our mounts.  Be sure to buy a truck with internal brackets to hold our mounts.
