    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    Until I actually bother getting my VIC-1 mounted/installed and my MP3/phone adapted to play through it, I've opted for these Howard Leight hearing protection. For me, I like that they're powered by my device, it makes them lighter on my head. I find them farily comfortable - not too tight on...

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    Snapped a couple pictures of the cell phone holder that is meant to be wedged between seats or console in cars. Fits really well on the passenger fold down seat. I need to put in a longer cord for it. Obviously it's kind of in the way for folding down the seat but no so much that I can't still...

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    Thanks Merc1973! Though you easily know much more about CB than I do. I played with CB when growing up, but I don't remember squat from that so I'm having to search the interwebs and read, read, read. I'll definitely need to take your advice and try a separate SWR meter as I have yet to pick...

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    I didn't want my coaxial cable getting in the way in the bed, or worse, being hit/cut by the troop seat legs. Also, I wanted to limit dirt, rain, and critters getting to the bed (as I planned to use the bed as a sad man's RV). So I decided to drill a hole below the antenna mount. I had only...

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    I am using it for CB. The link I provided in my first post to "ThoseMilitaryGuys" comes with a base (that bolts directly to the sugar scoop) and the antenna (that screws into the base) matched for use with CB. The base (and my Uniden Grant XL CB) uses the standard PL-259 connectors. No...

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    Gee , it seems simple now, but at the time I couldn't figure out why there were 2 clip points. Yup, look'n good!

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    Oh, alright awesome. Thanks all. I wasn't sure if the "fixed" side was meant to clip to my truck or what (if so I imagined that at highway speeds the antenna could come out...) but different highway/offroad configurations is bonus features in the bag that I didn't know about. Thank you.

    How are these type of antenna tie downs meant to work?

    So I'm feeling rather dense at the moment, okay - more than usual. I'm mounting a CB antenna on my driver's bed side (with the antenna tied down toward the rear). And for the sake of ease, I bought an antenna kit. It came with the following antenna tie down: It was not immediately...
