Hi all,
in a previous topic I've asked pic of M1145...I've get something now I would know if someone can ID these antennas.
If you have other pics or if you can add a name to this devices that would be great.
Also...do you know if for these type of thing there's an AM set?!I know voyager did something but as far I know their products aren't these one in the photo.
Regards
Ciro

Hi Ciro,
Antenna # 2 is no Duke antenna I think it`s a VHF antenna. For antenna #1, you can use the one from AFV Clubs M1130 Stryker.
BTW have you got my drawings?

Cheers

The antenna #2 looks very similar to the VHF-AM & UHF-AM Antenna used with the GRC-206 system :

Talking about the GRC-206, you'll find some more pics (+ informations and even some dimensions) here :

Hi Ciro,

building the VHF is no problem, jusst cut a piece of 2 mm rod and a piece of 4 mm rod to lenght and wrap a piece of 0,5 mm wire around the 2 mm rod.

Cheers

@ Frenchy

That second one is called a donkey di[k. (we call a fuel spout that too) I'd use this for the bottom:
