I love this mount: CB radios and scanners

I love this mount. I bought it together with Yaesu ATAS 120A. The mountain is hard as a stone. Great product for heavier antennas!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings, everything is fine

Good product.

Great mount for my VW front sunroof, perfect fit, good hardware and easy to install, I like the adjustments to keep the antenna upright. And the thin wire in the coax is perfect to get started with, no leaks and it's been working great for a month now.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some flaws

Fantastic lip mount for my Escape

I bought this mount for my Diamond CR8900 Diamond CR-8900 Quad Band Mobile Antenna 10m/6m/2m/70cm (PL259) with 3 year warranty and I have to say I had Worried that such a powerful antenna would not fit but I have to say this is a really well made product and I am very happy with it. I also like that it has a thumbscrew on the side that can be loosened and flipped over the top of the antenna. Been driving my car for three months now, no problems.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Only available in white

Be prepared to scratch the paint

Overall this is a good mount, I use it with the CSB-770A antenna. This mount says it is grounded with set screws, but since they powder coat every surface after the mount is complete, you have to completely disassemble the mount and scratch each section with paint to ground the connector to the screws. which in turn are grounded on the vehicle. Then you have to scratch the machine where the set screws meet. All in all it takes about an hour, with a knife and an ohmmeter. Once this is done…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not bad but...

This little lip mount was easy to install on my 2010 Subaru Forester. Make sure you ground them properly if you decide to buy them. . Get help from local radio amateurs if you need help with the installation, that's what they're there for. The only thing that bothered me is something I've seen a lot with the new uhf style connectors, which is that the manufacturers don't fill in the separator part. Inner conductor and outer conductor with many. There is nothing between the outer and middle…

Pros
  • Trial version for one year
Cons
  • Expensive

so far it seems to be coping. I'm not sure if he has good enough soil. Couldn't test swr yet due to the weather. UPDATE: 4-4-17 Thanks to this mount, my SWR was the highest I've ever seen. I've raised and lowered the antenna and the SWR doesn't seem to do anything. Better or worse. Do nothing. The mounting screws rest on bare metal, so I'm guessing it has a ground connection. Something is wrong and it could be me, but I've had other mounts in the past and that doesn't seem to be working with my

Fantastic lip mount for my Escape

I bought this mount with my Diamond CR8900 Diamond CR-8900 10m/6m/2m/70cm Quad Band Cellular Antenna (PL259) with 3 year warranty and I have to say I was afraid nothing would work with such a powerful antenna but I have to say this is a really well made product and I'm very happy with it. I also like that it has a thumbscrew on the side that can be loosened and flipped over the top of the antenna. Been driving my car for three months now, no problems.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Legacy
