What radios do you own?: APX / Astro 25 / Harris

I don't think its in fashion anymore. Anyone I see that still has low-band ball mounts just leaves the whip up like normal.

unless of course you want to look like a humvee with 12 foot antenna with hold down cord for NVIS operations.

I'm looking for the same thing. Old gutter clips for the old ball spring whips.

Someone I know is restoring an old police car. I found the low band whip, now just need the gutter clip.

Thanks

Here's the whip that I found:
