Default Re: Factory antenna base and wiring

I use a TRAM dual band for GMRS and NOAA channels on 162mHz. Magnetic mount annoys me, so I'm going with an attempt to build a 1/4 wave at 460 with the Crossfire antenna. I've got to gut it as there is a preamp in there, and I'll have less performance, but most of the time, we are talking less than 1/4 mile anyway.

I run a Kenwood NX5800 with HandHeld head combined with a wired boom mic and PTT on the shift. I'm licensed as WR8Y but not active.
