Antenna Thread BAse

[birin]

I understood the K-40 antennas that are stock with the venture have a 3/8"-24 threaded base ?

I connected with the Firestik antenna company and they confirmed their attenna bases are all 3/8-24, male threaded

 

So i must be incorrrect? The Venture K-40 stock attennas cant have the same base - since one cant simply be removed and replaced with the firestik

 

Can someone tell me what the base thread is for the stock Venture K-40 attennas??

 

Thanks

They are 8MM I believe. You use to be able to find adapters. You can redo the cable and do that also ie. the Marshall Mod like I have on mine.

K40 antennas are NOT stock on the Venture. Repeat, are NOT STOCK.

Here is a thread about replacing the Venture's stock antennas with a Firefly. It is essentially the one antenna/Venture version of the Marshall mod. It might help you figure out what you need, to do what you want to do.
