After a while, I wanted something more permanent, but also did not want to drill. I have a 4Runner, so ended up using this NMO mount on the rear door, on the back corner of the vehicle: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR09JOQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ...with this antenna: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01559XYHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Amazon.com: Tram 1180 Amateur Dual-Band NMO 38 Inch Antenna VHF 144-148 and UHF 430-450 MHz for Mobile Radios: GPS & Navigation<https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01559XYHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1> Amazon.com: Tram 1180 Amateur Dual-Band NMO 38 Inch Antenna VHF 144-148 and UHF 430-450 MHz for Mobile Radios: GPS & Navigation smile.amazon.com I was concerned that the "back corner" mount would cause issues due to the lack of ground plane, but it seems to work just fine... ________________________________ From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Shannon Tassin via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 8:56 AM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Shannon Tassin <stas...@hotmail.com> Subject: [BVARC] Recommendation for 2m/70cm Vehicle Mag Mount Hi all, I would appreciate any recommendations for a car mag mount that will cover both 2m & 70cm. If I can get it quickly through Amazon, that would be a bonus! I don’t plan to drill any holes as I will likely move this between cars and take it off when not in use. So I’ll want it to have a small wire that I can run between the door and the car when in use. I know this is not ideal and I risk crimping the cable, but some initial tests suggest this will work fine with my main vehicle and I’m willing to risk damaging the cable. PL-259 connector would be best as I already have some adapters to go from that to my HT and that will work with the mobile rig.
