sorry stampman tilt is another name for the canvas roof

i was thinking more on the lines of how did you get thru the tilt?
i take it you just cut a hole?

Was expecting problems last week when I fitted my first cb & aerial as I was away for the weekend and was desparate to try it out.

Get yourself a military roll bar under the tilt and mount to that, mine perfect so far (fingers, legs everything crossed) :D


how did you mount it to the roll bar?

got it sorted just drilled a hole in the front bumper and fitted it there!
works a treat wont do much for distance though !
but then again its only for use when im out with mates so distance isnt needed

tried that before with a jump lead to the chassis but it made no difference!

Thanks will go and try re mounting the twig and start again .

cheers

the patch lead is fine no shorts.
the swr meter is working fine if i connect up a mag mount i can swr it in no probs.

have just checked with a ml145.
i get continuity between the whip and the centre and the outer of the pl plug.

yep checked the cable no shorts and connection from end to end

hi all.
having problems fitting a twig to my canvas roofed landrover.
it seems anywhere i fit it i cannot get the swr down its normally of the scale!
is this because its alloy bodied or because im not getting a good enough earth on the mount?
its a sirio hypower twig with so239 thru body mount ...
