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.

MULTI-BAND 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.

LOOP 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.
