Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum Getting Worse with additional licenses issued outside of California
As of today, May 7, CAOS is still actively interfering with SoCal 220 spectrum. As far as I know, they haven¡¯t received a new license since their LA 220 experimental license was pulled.?
KJ6QFS
Rick, I believe I¡¯m in the same area as you. Please let me know the repeater that is being interfered with and I will monitor and I can then join the complaint if there is interference.?

Re: mobile antenna on the side windows???
i also know that on these antenna 15-20 maybe 25 is the max and for me around here it is good.
i have my own repeaters,and no users except me ? ,,,the Big Peace as we say here.

I know the feeling. I used to have a 2020 Edge that had the panormic
sunroof. It's beautiful, but nearly the entire roof is glass. Just a
narrow strip of metal at the front and back, and no way to get under it
to mount anything.
Plus the hood and rear hatch had curves that precluded trunk-lip type
mounts. Too narrow an opening on the hatch, and the curve on the hood
would have left the antenna leaning inward at about a 20 degree angle.
Had to go with an MFJ on-glass. Not very good. I could tune it for
resonance on UHF or on 2M, but not both. But that was the ONLY option.

Re: mobile antenna on the side windows???
hi mick,
well i was doing some cleaning here and i found one Larsen glass mount that my older brother ,also an amateur,gave me years,,,ago.i dont know the model but it has a long spring whip,,maybe 24-28 inch i dont know.i will install it and fixed the inside part with
just the masking tape and check the swr at 5 watts just to see the level.
i have a Bird swr meter so the lecture is right.
yes your Larsen is 250 or 280$ here at Radioworld in Ontario it is crazy.i dont have the budget for that price.
i check the antenna this week,tomorrow is my visit at my doctor !
when you become an oldman some parts falls ,,on the way to the end of life.
73 mick
great to have the message
gervais ve2ckn
Hello Gervais,
The Larsen kg-270 is a very good glass mount but they have gone
completely crazy on the price.
When I was installing mine, I used some packing take to hold it in place
and look at the SWR. If I had both squares lined up, the SWR was really
bad. Moving the inside of the vehicle part to a quarter of an inch
offset, the SWR was perfect. Has been working very well for a few years.

I will see if I can find something else at Dayton for the
GMRS antenna. I purchased the CA-712EFC based on
recommendations of people using it in repeater service. We
found out about the LMR-400 braid issue in repeater service
too late, that is the main reason we are moving to superflex!

?Roger and Gervais,
I used a Larsen glass mount on my wife's 2001 Cadillac STS, until we had to replace the rear glass... Like Roger noted, the new glass must have been of a different "mix", as I could never get a good match with the antenna after replacement.? You'll also
have to avoid the defrosted grid if there's one on/in the glass.
YMMV

Use caution with glass mounts.
Some vehicles have a high metal content in the window tint that seriously degrades performance.

Re: mobile antenna on the side windows???
hello tedd,
yes i add one of these long time ago ? ,
there is a little screew to adjust the SWR at the low point.
i just found one here in my scrap yard ? ,,an old Larsen that i have no idea
the model .i went at a body shop here and baught some 3M double face tape and fixed it on my Rav4 and i dont know if it will work.
may i contact you if you would dispose of yours?
thanks for your photo,
gervais.

Hi Gervais,
I have 2 of these from years ago. They are very old
stock, but are complete. They are marked 144-148
and 440-450.
They have an adjustment on the internal box. There
are no other marks on any of the components.
Have a look at the pictures.

Re: Looking for advice on antenna placement for our radio club repeaters.
If it is this type of Superflex, it might be fine.
But most of us refer to Superflex as something that is more like regular coax.

You really should consider Heliax over Superflex.

I will see if I can find something else at Dayton for the
GMRS antenna. I purchased the CA-712EFC
based on recommendations of people using it in repeater
service. We found out about the LMR-400 braid issue in
repeater service too late, that is the main reason we are
moving to superflex!?
