Larsen NMO 27 found

[K6GBW]

I just found this in a drawer in my garage. I thought this thing was long gone! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement whip for this?

Thanks,

B

Any decent antenna dealer will sell you replacement whips. You probably want the Larsen 49 inch black whip.

Did you try The Antenna Farm? They carry Pulse/Larsen antenna products, such as the W490 or W490B whip. These are listed at $13.95 from this vendor.

I'll check both and see what I can find. I had a note on it, apparently from when I took it off my truck that said 46 3/4". So I'm assuming I'll need at least a 49" replacement to tune it up.

Thanks!

They shipped with the 49" whip if you ordered the whole enchilada. I remember on a full size truck only cutting an inch or so to get it to tune up on CB.

Yeah, this was the antenna I had on my Chevy Colorado about three years ago, before I bought the Subaru and started hugging trees. Now I have the tiny ghost antenna on the Subi for UHF, but I've been thinking about putting an 11-meter radio back in there. I do a lot of road-tripping these days. But, the old CB days aren't what they used to be so I'm still debating. Regardless, I'd like to get another whip just so I have a complete antenna.

Here is a black version and its a Larsen with free shipping. I see many other 49" whips but you would have to verify diameter at the base or drill out the whip adapter to accommodate a thicker whip.

I see you haven’t gotten out to the Bannon scale house or Tehachapi Pass as I earlier recommended. Those two are where it’s almost a guarantee you’ll hear truckers talking about conditions.

IH-15 both sides of the IH40 split is another.

All three good places to get feedback once you’ve an NRC radio and a 5’ whip antenna.

Dont expect anything much with underperforming gear unless you’re right on top of places like the above.

If the whip is a little too short, you could insert a shock spring at the base to make up the (electrical) difference.

I wonder if you bought a 102 if you could cut it at the right diameter. And length??
