I don't have time to install it for another couple of days, just wondering.
Hi Newmguy,

As Rabbit told you, the center of gravity is the best mounting point for balance of weight.

In the case of the 30-2476, the reflector is fairly large an adds weight to the rear of the antenna, forcing the designers to move the clamp rearward to obtain balance.

Let us know how your 30-2476 works.

Thanks, Bob
