Apparently someone stole the 2m antenna off my truck at some point between yesterday evening and this evening. My wife had my truck as her 4Runner was out of commission due to idiots at the dealership.
Went to key up this afternoon on a repeater and didn't hear the repeater close. Thought my volume was down, wasn't down. Looked out the rear view and antenna gone. Glad I hadn't been keeping my Tarheel on there lately |

Another reason why I'm hesitant to get an expensive HF antenna for mobile use.

They probably thought it was a CB or cell phone booster antenna. Either that or just vandal kids. Sucks. I've got QD adapters for my antennas and I'm definitely not parking and walking away when I get my Tarheel on there. The Tram 217 QD adapters are what I have and they work well. Take literally 2 seconds to detach the antenna from the stud mount. |

Contemplating a device that switches the antenna from the radio to an electric fence charger when the vehicle is parked...

The reason I used cheap 1/4 wave mag mounts way back when my wife and I had VHF radios in our vehicles.

The thieves should be beaten to death with the whip section.
For as long as it takes. That metal damn sure didn't go to feed a starving family. |

Either way it was an el cheapo. The irritation has gone and now it's just funnily sad. But I am glad my Tarheel wasn't there and it wasn't taken. |
