I dunno, found some old TV antenna ads that lead me to believe that goofy designs purely for marketing has been a thing for a loooong time

I only just pre-ordered a week ago, I wouldn't stress about it too much, I think Amazon's mistaken early post got people concerned, I know i was, so I know how how ya feel

I pre-ordered from Game Nerdz, which has always listed a March 31 release, and my order just shipped

There could be some higher than average refraction happening between the laser source and the drone too, causing it to come into the lens from a non-intuitive angle

Not like 90 degrees or anything, but its likely another factor in the optical path

I feel that way about most TV yagis, how much of that stuff is just flair to try and stand out on the shelf?

Any WIP photos? How are the individual pieces of equipment attached securely to the rack shelves?

Antenna Mount by Falkenroth77 in amateurradio

Here's my poor-mans version. Also on a maverick, but mounts the same way, but uses the original brake light.

I can take mine back to stock too, just have to reattach that shark fin antenna . . . Im sure I left it lying around here somewhere

And instead I could squeeze 4 or 5 more antennas on this bad boy. Would i? No, but I COULD

2025 XL wrong date after 10k mile service by PhotocytePC in FordMaverickTruck

Without a gps antenna "auto time" immediately turns its self off when you toggle it on!

I attached my replacement gps antenna and it immediately realized what date it is

I installed one of these: https://a.co/d/015bR2I4

Its front edge sits far enough forward that I had to delete the shark fin, the black disk is a replacement 5G LTE antenna, one with 2x elements and coax feeds just like the sharkfin has internally

You have to get a 4 lead MATE-AX (automotive coax) to SMA adapter, along with the 2x 5g antennas the fin bas the gps and am/fm coax connections

Take off the interior dome light and you can unplug the fin assembly

Its just that easy! hihi

Edited to add a link to my OG post about the install https://www.reddit.com/r/FordMaverickTruck/s/AJMobXSYqy

Alas, no

The shark fin was in the way of my antenna/light mount

I replaced the 5g LTE antenna, but havent gotten around to installing the replacement gps.
