here is the antenna array on my Ford F-150 To avoid drilling holes in the cab roof, I created a platform or rail behind the cab that I punched 3/4 holes for each of the NMO mounts. all the wires

Thank you for posting this though sad. Jeff H.

May he rest in Piece, he was a good man. That sucks.  He is the reason I bought so many of their scanners. I hope they bring on some one to try and fill his shoes.

I would say at 1time he has help us all. God bless him and family.

Thanks for letting us know What a nice guy he was We will miss him

Yes very sad. And yes he will be missed.

Here, here. God rest his soul.

Terrible news. Yes, he will be missed greatly! Jim Walls

We have been discussing this on the scanner email list, but it was suggested it should be posted here as well... ------------------------ I just received word that Paul Opitz (UPMan) passed away

Same here for the D130J. I have had one for years 15-20 in my attic, with a string of Uniden receivers--waiting to buy an SDS200 if I can find one on sale on Black Friday or Cyber Monday--works great.

Don KA9QJG Thanks much. A very good site, thanks for the link and reminder. don/k0kuz ZUT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hey Don, Thanks for the information. I only use my D130j for Monitoring. I have not had much experience in transmitting with it. I’m going to read the link that you provided. Gig N2GIG

Discone antennas were designed By the Military because of needing to transmit on many freqs . Two way radio shops use them to receive and transmit to test radios . In ham radio We use them

OK, thanks for the info re: MFJ unit. Appreciated it is. don/k0kuz ZUT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thought

I agree with that… in my experience they hold up well. Although something commercial might be a better move. What would be a better solution? A vertical?

I vote for the D130J as well…. I know they do work well in the attic.. I’ve had mine outside as well with no issues.. cant hurt to see what other experiences people may have had

there a very cheap construction
