Review on πŸ”§ Browning WSPBR10353 5/8 NMO Mount Magnet,Black - Enhanced Signal Performance for Easy Antenna Mounting by Jessie Ritchie

Revainrating 1 out of 5

1 out of 3 defective

I have bought 3 magnetic mounts over the past few years. The previous ones were good but the last one has a problem: this NMO magnetic mount is broken. I use it with a BR-180 dual band amateur antenna. I ordered WSPBR 10353 5/8 NMO Mount Magnet, Black and got this BR-317R instead. When connected to the BR-180 I get an SWR of 10+. the old BR-180 that I have on this new magnetic mount I get an SWR of 10+. Putting my old BR-180 on top of my old WSPBR10353 gives me an SWR of 1.2:1. I measure the continuity between the PL-259's center pin and the center pad on the mount. I measure the continuity between the PL-259 shield and the mounting thread. I measure >20 MΞ© between center pin and shield. I am sending this back.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • String is shorter than other picks
