Does anyone have a pic of the antenna base/wire as removed from a roadster? Id like to see the connector on the end of the coax... Im gonna start looking at parts, before its warm and I remove mine...

thanks all!

 

Here ya go, I have two spares. (I'm working at modding one into an FRS/GMRS antenna and will mount it on the passenger side.)
The square (power) plug has only one wire, but is a two-conductor connector.

SOMEWHERE on this forum a contributor linked to new ones for sale on eBay, that was a few years ago but not THAT long ago.

 

Thanks pizzaguy! ;-) Im planning on replacing mine in the spring... I like the idea of using one as GMRS antenna.. Im also considering a glass mount antenna on the windshield for a 2m/440 ham radio antenna... still pondering if i should....

 

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.

 

that Kenwood mic/control is pretty slick! Im not a fan of mag mounts on these cars.. theres NO PLACE to put them... Ill probably end up just using an HT with the head set /mic while driving... easier than trying to install any kind of antenna... im KB8VMO...
