Correct buckets, but wrong color and brackets.

I might have a CHP Whip ball and spring, but no antenna

Sam are the whips hard to find? PM me if you want to sell your ball and spring.

I just bought a pair of whips off ebay for a good price.

CHP whip antennas have a small " ball " at the tip of the antenna, not a elongated type tip. It's a round ball approx. 1/4" in diameter.

In the SSP tech. info section, it has the part code # and manufacture of the whip antennas. A copy of the specs of the antennas.

If that helps any. I found the spring at a truck parts house, but not the mounting ball.

Thais John for the info. I'll keep searching.

102" Whips
 

$22 a pair is great, but $21.80 shipping? A bit excessive but I guess if you round out your total cost it's $22 each. lol.

The 102 in. whip is cut to Citizen Band Radio 27 mhz (CB)
You need to cut the Antenna to 65 in. for correct 43 mhz
appearance. this is how it goes.
for CB
468 divided by 27 mhz equals 17.3
divided by 2 (half wave whip) equals 8.6
then 8.6 times 12 (for 12 inches)
equals 103 in.
using the CB frequency 26.5
(commonly referred to and rounded off to 27 mhz
would give you 102. inches
for CHP
468 divided by 43 mhz equal 10.8
divided by 2 (half wave whip) equals 5.4
then 5.4 times 12 (for 12 inches)
equals 65 in.
If you want to change the frequency to say 42 mhz
then just change that in the formula.
the picture below is what i used to CAPP
the end of the antenna. I understand that there is
a Round ball with a set screw available but i have
not been able to find one at this time.
