Re: [AFMUG] Mimosa C5c
The ds3000 is probably one of the worst mounts I've ever used. Super soft and easy to crush. Might be ok with a support arm. The UML that streakwave sells is much higher quality.

Re: [AFMUG] Mimosa C5c
The DS-3000 mount with at least 1 brace works well although 2 are recommended. There is another one called a striker which even stronger. Also look at the KPPerformance antennas. Kent Urweiller says they are better on noise than the LW antennas. Mine just came in so I haven’t tested it yet.
