Ken, I, too, used a Greenlee hole punch before I discovered the Ripley HSK-19 Antenna Hole Saw. The description in the catalog states: "Ripley hole saw for installing permanent mount antennas. Makes 3/4" hole and limits depth to 1/8"..." It is sold by Tessco as catalog number 14023. It's a lot less cumbersome than the hole punch method, but the user still needs to consider where the dome light and/or roof support ribs are located, before drilling. Funny how some people don't check these details!
My disclaimer of financial interest in Ripley or Tessco applies- I'm just a satisfied customer. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Arck Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 7:42 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Antennas that work both in commercial and amateur At 07:29 AM 2/20/2007, you wrote: >Ah, the good old days, when men armed with a drill and Greenlee punch >thought nothing of putting holes in their roofs, fearing not the Wrath of >Wife. <---When I bought my new Mustang last year, within 24 hours of bringing it home, I installed a genuine NMO mount in the trunk lid.
