R1A - External Locking Quick Disconnect
There are times when it is convenient to be able to quickly remove your antenna without fumbling around for tools. Perhaps your antenna is too tall to fit into your garage, or you often park in a high theft area. Maybe you don't use your antenna every day but want to be able to snap it on in a hurry when you do want to use it. If that's the case, a quick disconnect is all that you need. Compatible with 3/8"-24 threaded antennas and accessories.

The R1A utilizes an external locking design. This design allows the manufacturing process to be more automated, thus reducing the cost. A benefit of the external locking mechanism is its added ruggedness. We recommend its use in situations that involve continuous exposure to shaking and vibration. The R1A may be used with antennas up to 5' (1.5m).

  • Review: I ordered these and when I tightend them the stud that locks in the quick disconnect let go and made them completey useless. There is no machining on the lower stud to get a wrench so you must put the antenna on them and then tighten them down and this is what caused the stud to break. This is the one and only item I have had a problem with from Walcott.
