Looks great & works good!
Had a minor issue with a missing a set screw from the package. A quick trip to my local hardware store fixed that and I got some extra's as I am bound to lose one sometime in the future. If you need, I believe they are 10X32 & .25" long. The one that worked its way loose during shipment was in the base where it screws against the trunk lid. I would reccomend a stainless steel over the painted or powder coated set screws. For RF you want a good contact, as opposed to matching colors.Tram adverstises as pre-tuned & it certainly seems so after a quick test with my nanovna! 2m seems flat across the band and for 70cm everything over 425~MHz has an swr of 1.5 or below. Sweet!I did try to compare it against my base antenna and it seemed to perform as good or better. However, my base antenna is a 19" groundplane in my attic. But the driveway is a tad higher than my driveway. I was able to hit at least as many repeaters and even though I didnt a reply when I called "This is, KC1OCA testing" I did hear the repeater kerchunk and the repeaters identified themselves.My main reason for getting this is for APRS, unfortuneatly my Subaru Legacy seems to transmit RF on 144.390 so I havent been able to give it a good test yet. But, seeing as its NMO I will be using it on an magmount base in another vehicle and driving around to see how it performs.Also note the picture, the Tram logo matches up almost perfectly with the logo on a Tram 1246B. I'm sure the marketing department had their hand in this, but is a nice detail.One thing I really like about the Tram is the connection is made via pin & spring as opposed to a metal tab. The tabs on some other antennas seem to corrode or just occasionally make a bad contact. The spring & pin seems to be much more consistent.73 - KC1OCA
