Thanks, Just found on eBay as well. I like that it comes with antenna, mount, and cable. The coax cable looks just like the Fire ring on the firestik version. Was there much tuning to this version?

Truthfully, we slacked and haven't tuned it at all. Works fine. I got a tuner from another member here, I should probably use it on this Jeep of these days.
And it comes with the nylon washer Eddie was talking about earlier.

I found when tuning mine, I got fluctuating SWR readings when mounted on the tailgate. Put a ground from the tub to gate and works better then ever now.

Good info. I just edited my post after re-reading Eddie's post about the poor ground being between the tailgate and body, not between the antenna and tailgate.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a good deal. Is the mount sturdy?
Guess I could paint the parts that are not needed for the connection if it stands out too much.

Mine is mounted on the license plate holder, bolted to the side facing forward, so I had to use a ground strap. Use copper braid for strap. I ran it from the frame to the spot between the top of the connector and the bottom of the plate.
The idea of the 10/11 unit os pretty cool though, and the very clear writeup makes me think more on the switch idea someone else noted, so if my 520 ever dies, I may have to guve this a hard look.
And for further clarification of the pic posted by Eddie, from an electrical standpoint, I found this very helpful with my multimeter

Plenty sturdy and the mount is hardly visible behind the tire.

As you see, I ordered one. Here is another photograph, to give a perspective on its diminutive size.

Yes it is. That is what really sparked my interest. My antenna and mount should be here this week. I will install and report.

Great write up and seems easy enough. I even still have a solder sucker in my garage somewhere. Gives me an excuse to buy a fine soldering iron too.

Now that's a great example of just how tiny this radio is! One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to try it :thumb:
