    GPS & iPad 2 (3G)

    I have been running the Comet CSB750A fold down (dual band) antenna for two years. NMO mount on my tube bumper. Never had any impact. However, snapped from vibration (just above the second connector on the mast). Almost looked like a vertical sigmoid wave before it snapped. Mount was solid...

Part of it was to match the front tubular bumper - but more importantly a couple of issues needed to be addressed: a) relieve the weight of the tire from the door hinge; b) provide a carrier for water or jerry cans; c) remain as lightweight...

    Deep cycle battery

    In my quest for a dual battery set up, the two manufacturers that appear the most (in my research) are: Optima Yellow Top (D34) Odyssey (PC1200) Exide (34XCD) I know the subject has been beaten to death. The deep cycle batteries just seem to be harder to find North of the Border. Based on...

    Antenna for CBs

    Finally decided on a portable CB (Midland 85-722). Now I am looking for a external antenna to help boost the reception. There appears to be 3 options: 1) No additional antenna 2) Bandi mount + firestick 3) Magnetic (roof mounted) antenna (Wilson?) The only use I foresee for the CB, is during...
