M1009 Antenna for CB

[camp9]

camp9, where did you order it? I cannot find one for the life of me!

I got it from Saturn Surplus out east. Never ordered from them before so hope it works out. Anyone here order anything from them?

 

[my86m1009]

Ryan, that's what I'm planning on doing

 

[my86m1009]

Camp9, let me know when you get them, ill have to check them out

 

[camp9]

Sure will.

Got my antenna from Saturn Surplus today. All new in the box delivered for $76.55. He has some used bases for $18 cheaper. The AB15 base new was $38.50 and the antenna sections were $6.50 each. First time I've bought from them, worked out great.

I have ordered from Sautrn Surplus as well. So, I will let you as well my86m1009.

So, let me see if I have this correct. With the AB15 base with the MS-116-(7)-(eight) antennas cut to 110 inches, I should be able to connect this using a standard co-axial cable to the Corba CB unit, and work?

Looks to me that it is the same as a whip antenna. Hook the center to the screw and the outer part of the wire to the ground.

Be sure to ground the UHF coaxial connector sleeve after you screw it on tight at the base of the antenna. That creates the ground reference for the base fed 1/4 wave ground plane.

Tenmogger, thanks for that tidbit! I will be sure to do this.

if you cut it instead of properly using two long and one short sections, be sure to seal the top very well or it will fill with water. Those are copper plated steel and will rust together. use silicon gel or vaseline.

I had mis-read about the antennas and shall not be cutting.

Exactly what camp9 wrote!

My AR15 base with antennas came in today. Speedy shipping. Cannot wait to get home and attach it to the M1009! Definitely will purchase again from them.

Ciao.

Appears, I am missing a piece that affixes the AB15 to the fender bracket. Does anyone know what part that is?

Did you separate the porcelain ? Gasket and metal grounding
Ring should be in-between the two pieces

I am sorry. I meant to include that on the fender mount/bracket, the diameter of the hole is an inch too wide.

Perhaps, I should try the AB558 base?

 

[shootist]

Which base do you have? The 15 or the 558?
Also which mount?
Does the mount look like the one posted at the beginning
Of this thread?

 

[Nigel Caffiene]

First off, I like to thank you Shootist for helping me out! Much appreciated.

I need to snap a few photos as that would help clear up my dilemma.

Yes, I have the AB15 base and the fender mount like that of 'cucv1883'. On cucv1883's photo, it appears there is an intermediate mount that connects the AB15 with the fender mount.

I think most people just fab up an adapter when using the AB15 base with the CUCV antenna mount.

 

[shootist]

just gonna say the same thing
easier to fab than locate

It is like a giant washer. Haney Electronics in Godley, Texas should have them.
