I could swear that the last time I ordered this antenna (about 2008) that it came with an aluminum backplate. Perhaps 1.5" x 5" with holes prepunched for the BNC and two stud posts. Both of the antennas I just received have a cork gasket, but neither has the metal backplate. Am I crazy?

I made one out of .032 aluminum.

They have probably have "valued engineered" the product now and increased their profit margin a little. Just make some. If you need some stock I probably have a bunch in my hanga r. -GV -----Original Message----- From: Matt Dralle -list Sent: Tue, Jun 26, 2012 10:12 am Subject: RV-List: Backplate For Comant CI-105 just ordered two Comant CI-105 transponder antennas from PacificCoast.
