NMO 3 1 THICK MOUNT SO 239 ADAPTOR Review

This SO 239 Adaptor made installing my NMO antenna on my roof a breeze! The thick mount ensures a stable setup, and the adapter is compatible with most automotive radios. The only downside is that it takes up a little extra space on the car roof, but that's a small price to pay for such a solid piece of equipment. Overall a great investment for any car enthusiast!

This mount is very easy to use. Simply drill a 5/8 hole in the surface you are mounting it on, screw the two pieces together, tighten and you have an NMO mount. Opek does good things at reasonable prices. I installed it on a flat piece of metal that I bolted to the trunk of my bike and added the Comet 73BNMO antenna. No matter what rubber ducky antenna I use on my Kenwood HT, nearby repeaters just won't pick up my APRS packets. I think it's all trees. Haven't tried it yet but will post results…
