The only problem with the RCS-8 series is they're shock sensitive. Don't
throw them in the back of a pickup truck and expect them to survive the
trip and be perfectly functional at the other end. Easily (nay,
trivially) fixable, unless the spring pops off and you lose it, but it
IS an issue. Bolted to the wall of a motorhome would probably be ok.
Bumper of a car, nope. (yes, I tried the latter.. how else would you do
A/B experiments with antennas while on the move)
