Hi all
Someone told me that there is an adjustable radar mount for a antenna
anyone ever hear, or know where to get such a thing?

Apparently the device is manually adjustable for the level of the
ray-dome

THanks

I made my own platform in stainless steel plate bought from a srap
dealer. It's im the shape of an inverted U with one hole in the
vertical plates through hich passes a 3/8 bolt going though the
support tube (a 7ft piece of a broken spinnaker pole) and a slit below
(a segment of a circle corresponding to the
distance between it and the abovementioned bolt center) through which
passes a 1/4" bolt with two washers and a wing nut plus a locknut
outside it as a safety.
The scanner is bolted to the horizojntal platform. When I want to
counteract the boat's heeling, I unscrew the ing nutm move the
platform to an angle and retighten the wing nut. Cost me $ 25 for the
welding and $ 5 for the stainless.....
