Seems like a better mechanical arrangement would be to have the whip attached securely to the mounting bracket, and the N connector also securely attached to the mounting bracket, arranged to there's relatively little strain on the center pin of the N connector... What seems to me that would work would be some variation on a U shaped bracket: (pardon the ASCII art) II (antenna) _____________ | IIII | | II |NNN | L-----|NNN M |M |NNN M |M | M |M | | | N is the N connector M is the mounting bolt for the bracket. If the wire is stranded, then there would be little or no stress on the center pin of the N connector. Or if you want the wire out the bottom, II (antenna) _____________ | IIII | II M|M | M|M | | NNNNN _____NNNNN___ NNNNN NNNNN NNNNN 73, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
