We carry a mount that results in the motorola nmo
equivalent, but requires a smaller hole (about
5/8"). I used to call it the Larsen Hole style
mount, but many other mfgrs offer it.
We carry rubber hole plugs for both hole sizes
(but they really sell out fast...) People come
in and buy them for other applications.. don't
ask.
Some of the newer antenna mounts have near true
impedance through 900MHz vs the bump provided
by some of the earlier legacy nmo and equiv mounts.
Some times you've just gotta' use the drill.
