The antenna and base are both Tarheel products.

The Lift and Lay base is Stainless steel and I welded additional pieces to it to span the ribs of my coach.

The antenna is tuned up and down with the push of a rocker switch as is the raising and lowering of the base, both 12v. Both are supplied with everything to be functional except for the fastening hardware and sealing compound.

The engraved panel was ordered hastily and was miss labeled. Some day I will have a new one made to read INDOOR RADIO and OUTDOOR RADIO, all my antennas are outdoors, Ha, Ha. I intend to have an outdoor station as well, using the same antenna, thus the label.

The radio is powered by a 30a switching power supply and both are mounted in a vacant space behind finished cabinets. The previously posted picture shows the radio head recessed in a cabinet that can be closed, this did not work well.

I removed the door and pulled the face out to the front at an angle. I like it much better.phpfBLnqUPM.jpg
