FireStik (SS-294A) - Stainless Steel Pick-Up Over Rail
Stakehole Mount, with SO-239 Base Antenna Stud Mount
Mount
Description:
This stainless steel mount locks into any of the stake
hole pockets along the edge of a pick-up truck bed. There
is no need to drill any holes in the vehicle. The mount
can be used on bed rails with protective covers (such as
those on the newer Ford Super-Duty trucks). Because of
the stud mount configuration on this mount, it can only
be used on trucks where there is inside access to the
stake hole pocket (from side or bottom) for the coaxial
cable to be routed to the mount. In some cases, this
might require that the coax be routed through an opening
that is too small for a PL-259 connector to pass. In
those cases, the PL-259 will need to be installed after
the coax has been routed. The mount will easily support
heavy-duty antennas up to 4 feet (1.2m) in length.
Note: With the exception of being able to correct
for slight bed rail tilt using gasket material or a
fabricated wedge of sorts, this mount does not contain
angular adjustments. The top of the bed rail needs to be
close to the horizontal plane to prevent the antenna from
leaning inward or outward when viewed from the front or
back of the vehicle.
Important Consideration: When mounted in either of
the stake hold pockets directly behind the vehicle cab,
antennas that are shorter than 4-feet will experience
substantial reflection from the metallic corners of the
cab. Antennas shorter than 4-feet will, in most
likelihood, be difficult, if not impossible, to tune to a
satisfactory SWR.
The mount comes complete with FireStik's world famous
heavy-duty SO-239 antenna stud. Standard PL-259
terminated coaxial cables are to be used with this mount.
FireStik recommends the use of 18ft (5.5m) RG-58A/U high
quality coaxial cable with all of their fiberglass
antennas. Coaxial cable assembly model K-8A would be the
recommended cable to use with this mount when using a
single antenna or, model K-9A if running twin (co-phased)
antennas.
If you do not have inside access to the stake hole
pocket, FireStik also manufactures a mount and coaxial
cable mini-kit for this type of installations. The
mini-kit features the low-profile FireStik exclusive
FireRing terminated coaxial cable.
May be used with any 3/8"-24 threaded antenna or
accessory.
