[A/S] Re: Installing Batwing antenna

["Christopher45103" <blickcd@xxxxxxx>]

Sarge,

I've never done it but read some information somewhere a while back 
and will share what I remember.

One problem is that the old antennas have the twin lead wiring while 
the batwing is coaxial.  Supposedly, the easiest thing to do is 
abandon the twin lead in place and run co-ax across the roof and down 
in thru the refer vent, securing it as needed to keep it off the hot 
coils.

I know the batwing has a built-in amplifier, but I don't know if it 
needs a separate power lead or has one of those adapter connections 
that send power up thru the antenna wire.

I have a '79 International with a well worn original antenna.  Since 
I may need to replace it later on, I'd like to hear back from you 
after you've completed the project, for any tips you have.  Please 
post any photos of the job if you take any.
