From what I have read the "original" dealer-installed, fender mount antennas stuck out 8" when fully retracted. The reproduction Hirschmann's fully retract. Anyone here have one of these "original" antennas that they'd like to post a pic of? When the dealers were installing the radios/antennas, did they just reach for whatever was available, or did a certain antenna go with a certain radio? I have a Motorola Sapphire, and am curious as to what the proper antenna would be to accompany it.
Heres a pic of my radio. Plan to install it soon.  |

Nicest antenna setup I've seen (though unoriginal) was on Chuck Stoddards "Gronk" 914-6. He had a GT lid on it, with a small hole cut on the left side & a Hirschman installed there. Don't remember exactly, but I think it was a powered unit.
As chicken as I am to drill a hole in a fender, I can't imagine putting a hole in a GT lid. Then again, he did have a ready source of replacements. Pat PS: Jon - my 914 is a 72 & it has a Balupunkt Frankfurt in it. Not that it matters, because antennas were not radio model specific as far as I can tell. |
