Telescopic antenna - mount sizes
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2024 10:20 pm
Telescopic antennas - particularly for QRP - often end in male M10 threads.
Here's just one 18' example from Amazon:
B0DCMTX7QD
And here is a common mount for portable / mobile antennas. Great but they all seem to have a 3/8" thread.
B0765QHQMZ
My kludge of a solution is use this adapter:
B0BV6KGGX3
The antenna, mount are sturdy, but this adapter has short threads and is made of aluminum alloy. Maybe not so strong?
This works, but what's a better idea?
Amazon ASIN numbers are with each photo.
