How pliable are the springs?

Can they be bent to show an antenna in a tied down position after being attached to the applicable base?

Jason
The springs can be bent as normal one.
It is the same set-up as seen on their LAV-III (I used it) and you can play with the spring like hell, they will bend.
You will need a material stiff engought for the aerial to force the bending only on the spring.

Thanks for a very thorough review!


Quoted Text

I was able to identify the antenna bases for the following nationalities:
US, Canadian, French, German, Australian, NZ, Italian.


Could you tell us which is which please (by annotating the instruction sheet or the photo with the resin parts)?

Cheers,

Christophe
