Speaking of antennae...

Post by Chuck »

Which we weren't, but are now... :D

This is what I - with considerable help from George... aka Anaconda man & G man... have fitted to the van.

It's a ZCG MADB 2m marine AE with a swivel base, permitting it to be lowered & secured to the side of the van for travel. Can be used to connect to both the laptop & our Samsung phones with suitable patch leads.

To enable us to have greater phone comms whilst traveling, have also installed another ZCG AE to the bullbar of the Cruiser. It's the shorter, thicker one... next to the UHF/CB one. Originally put it on the other fitting on the bullbar - drivers side - but the movement whilst driving was too distracting, so now it is mounted on the extreme LH side.

Hi Chuck,
I mounted the same about a week ago on the rear of my 5'er.
But have the wrong patch lead.

Had one on the first van & then the Winnie... makes a nice difference when out there with weak signals.

Yeah, without the correct patch lead it's just gunna look good!

And I can say from handling his new antenna that it is very tactile. :lol:
Queen of the Banal & OT chatter and proud of it. If it offends you then tough titty titty bang bang.
