A Bit More Equipment

Jun 17, 2019

I got a bit more equipment for my HT. Thanks again to Bob KO6XX for the advice.

• Diamond SRH77CA Antenna, a 15-inch rubber duck for better performance.
• Tram 1185 Mag-Mount Antenna.
• A pair of 6-inch antenna cables, to adapt the HT's female SMA jack to the SO-239 male connector on the cable that came with the Tram 1185.

For the camper, with its fiberglass roof, Bob recommended the Diamond K400 mount for the rear hatch. I have't pulled the trigger on that yet, because I need to ask Bob to recommend an antenna. Depending on where I put the mount, I'll need to consider carefully where the antenna will go when I open the hatch, or when I pull into my garage, which has quite a low roof.
