I wonder if anyone here has ever constructed their own mast mount for a Radome transmitter? I look at the prices, which are outrageous, then look at the construction, which appears to be minimal at best, and wonder why they charge so much for something that looks fairly easy to construct from aluminum that could be purchased at Home Depot.
I just ordered a Lowrance 3G Broadband Radar system and the antenna only weighs 16 pounds, which is pretty darned light. I think I could make the mount for about $25 in aluminum and hardware and avoid paying $475 for a manufactured mount.
If anyone has already done this, I would love to hear your replies. If not, I'll be sure to post some photos and details here.
Thanks,
Gary
