Hey all

Where in chch is the best place to get a prs aerial thats decent and has a spring on it. The dicksmith ones are ok but they dont have a spring on the bottom and dont last long

cheers

Check out the vender area on here, they cost a bit more but the are really worth it, strong and clear receving from them.

Have got some short stubby flexible 3db gain antenna's in stock, these are ground plane independent which means you can mount them a lot of places. No antenna is immune to tree hits (went thru 3 of the DSE ones on my old LJ71). with this type of antenna you can mount it in a tree protected area, and further protect it by adding a sacrificial layer of heat tube to the outside of it.

Hey Jerry

I am sticking my old CB back in the new build along with the t200 so i will need a 27mghz aerial as well. Would like one that is high gain and as short as possible. Do you have any of those?

[mud_slinger]

um enough to be annoying

The spring can be added to any of the ones that screw off the base ...
You may need to re-tune the antenna after fitting

I am not sure if the "Ground plane independent" ones screw off the base

I have them on all of mine and I have not broken one yet but I think that if you hit the aerial hard/ fast enough the spring wont help

The bumper mount is a compromise between performance verse aerial life as the best place to mount them is as high as possible
With any mount below the roof line the vehicle masks the signal.
This is more of an issue as the distance between radios increases.

Yep they do just like the others , these are commercial antennas designed for trucks etc,
