I hate to say it but there sure is a bunch of ignorance here concerning VHF antennas

Is yours different in some way? http://www.justpickone.org/skip/gall...onics&start=88 and the next page have pix of the current Metz antenna. Apparently, they've changed their antennae, as the MMSI, AM/FM and this Metz I have all have the type of connector shown, which is a discontinous thread. The pix of my holding the still-mounted-to-original-bracket antenna show that it's not long enough to mount with a nut, thus the extended connector I used... OK, I see what you mean. Apparently your angle bracket is too thick for the threads provided by Metz. There is a cheap and dirty solution to that kind of mounting problem involving Ty-Wraps and JB Weld that might just do the job if you're so inclined. I won't tell anyone as long as you don't look too closely at how my latest WiFi antenna is mounted at the top of our trawler mast. :-) |
