<div dir="ltr">One other point to mention, <div>I have also had good luck investing in a 5/8-24 UNEF thread tap ($20 US). That is the same thread as the PL-259 or N connector, which sometimes makes for a better mounting bracket if you THREAD the hole, assuming there is enough metal to do good threads. Then use nuts above and below to keep it from threading loose. Less wobble.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Dave </div><div>w0im</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 6:07 AM, Bob Harris via aprssig <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aprssig@tapr.org" target="_blank">aprssig@tapr.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

hunters when they see antennas on a rack inside the Land Rover.<span class=""><br>
