Doesn't the locktite insulate the radials from the rest of the antenna? Or, I guess there would be enough bare metal still touching to make them work as designed, right?
Hello, I just bought one of these for a cheap price. After opening it, I found the center stinger is missing. Would you be able to provide any info on the center antenna. Thanks in advance. -BAG2
Neat idea! I also like listening to the local police/fire department. Did you know they have free apps you can download. I listen to the police on my ipad.
I loved your idea for the center bolt for the mast adapter.
I always listen to my scanner while I'm in my workshop. Nice vid.

good video but rg6 cable is 75 ohms and you should be using a 50 ohm cable, it will make a big difference
For receive only the RG6 should be fine, the cost of purchasing 50 ohm cable may not be cost effective
