#2017 CASCADEA ANTENNA INSTALLATION DRIVERS#

IвЂ™ll try to get a load out of New Mexico this week that will take me to (or past) San Antonio, so that I can have The High Priest of CB Antenna techs (Robert, at ClayвЂ™s Radio Shop) wave his antenna analyzer around and mumble incantations while directing his apprentice. 1.5 or so on two meters separate from radio (which also showed same). Requires CB Stud Mount (Heavy Duty Stud Is Recommended) Uses Bolts From Mirror To Attach (No Drilling Necessary) Cascadia 2017 and Older. Made From Heavy Duty Steel with Black Powder Coat For Extra Protection. I angled it forward slightly but may change that. The HD Bracket has heavy duty bracing required for larger and coiled antennas. Have the 5511-Mike 7вЂ™ Skipshooter and pvc reinforcement on the antenna mount. A HD fused pre-made power cord I picked up at Bobs CB in PA. Power is run from main circuit board at studs. A mess to look at, but also a work in progress. Ran some Wilson Mini-8 and draped along dash. The days of the FLD really are long gone.ДЄs this is a company leased truck I wonвЂ™t be drilling holes. This latest truck has an armored plate, so to speak, over the engine side of the firewall. Slide spacer behind new bolt (shorter of the two provided).ДЄsked a CB tech where I bought it how heвЂ™s routing coax. Was: Wilson Antennas Freightliner Cascadia CB Antenna Mounting Bracket Fits Freightlienr Cascadia Trucks (2017 And Older) Supports Up to 5 Antennas Grounded. The antenna mount is exterior to the Freightliner mirror mount. Same one as in recent posts to the International LT I was in before that.

Truck was brand-new when I got into it in January, and no dumb butt drivers to screw things up.ДЄm running a known good Galaxy 979 (bought at Walcott, but had owner of Clays Radio in San Antonio check for QC issues and do alignment). 19TL-8 - STRUCTURE: The crossmember mounting bracket of the new cascadia prevents correct installation of the tdc locating pin tool through the crankshaft position sensor hole in the flywheel housing. Reception range in a familiar area seemed very good.

ItвЂ™s possible (tending towards likely) the worst OEM antenna IвЂ™ve encountered in 21-years. No surprise, an immediate huge improvement over the OEM Hirschmann вЂњThin Film AntennaвЂќ which I suspect is buried just above the windshield.

Got it installed while stopped in Fort Worth.
