As yet have not received the antenna....might not get it till round the end of the month. So, if you find out about a good mobile mount for the four band antenna, I would like to know. I plan to mount on top of a one of my luggage rack arms (GMC Envoy).

Roof or gutter mount is required for 6 and 10m to work well. You need a ground for them to operate correctly. I have used this on a mag mount and it works fine for the 2m and 70cm bands.

Your question is verry open ended. that all depends on where you want to mount it. any SO259 female mount will work with it. I own two of these from two different sellers. they have a problem. when you reach 70-75mph on the interstate, the wiggle theirselves out of the fold-over mount and laydown wagging like a happy labrador's tail and become usless

I am using a rooftop antenna with a signal booster from Radio Shack. Should probably use an antenna made for digital TV.

This is a great antenna, I have two. It does not come with a mount of any kind. You will need an NMO type mount.

I do not have exact information now as I am away. However a small and basic mount should be OK. My friends actually just did them even without mount

The antenna comes with a bracket and U-bolts. You can mount it on a pole or whatever the bolts will fit. I use mine in the RV, so have a wooden base with with a two foot piece of two inch diameter pipe mounted to it. The antenna is passive. Connect to phone input or amplifier. No external power is needed.

This antenna is a dual band 2 meter 440 antenna and it works well on my Kenwood dual band mobile so it should work well on a single band 2 meter rig as well!

Quad-band transmitting BASE antennas are hard to come by. Just use a MOBILE 10/6/2/.7 quad-band instead, like the HHT HH-9000 quad-band mobile antenna at around $42, plus a ground-plane radial kit (since you don't have the car body acting as such). Don't forget to get yourself an antenna tuner (like the MFJ-945E) so you don't burn out your radio from a severe mis-match. And remember A-L-L grounds must always go to a single point termination at the grounding rod! ...no short-cuts! Use high quality low loss coax such as LMR-400 and weatherproof your exterior connections like they will be submerged in 33' of water. KK4VRE/ WQST332/ KRED333/ KNJ2MB

This is a great antenna for the price. You can even use a custom piece of antenna stock to suit your exact needs. Its magnet is strong. Good luck. -Chris

I get great reception with this antenna....It works just as well as the magnetic mount one that I have!

You will need a antenna and I bought one from amazon. Look for marine antenna, it works great. Dual MAR16B Marine Flexible Mast Antenna Black, its small and works great.

The antenna is a small light weight antenna and doesn't take much to mount. In my case, I purchased a roof mount tripod and it serves the purpose very well. The antenna is made so that it is easy to adapt, you can use a gable or chimney mount, if your in an apartment, they make a clamp on mount for the handrail on your deck and so on. As for the best way, on top of your roof up high enough to clear other buildings will give you best range. Now you didn't say which antenna you have, if you have the "rubber duckie" that plugs into the back of the unit, I had mine sitting on a shelf in my den and it covered my whole property no problem.

I don't know but I don't see why not. I don't think it matters what mount you use as long as your antenna is in tune. What kind of 2 meter antenna do you have cuz I am a ham as well, call sign KD0WFZ

I use a spring, plus solid base. It depends on where you were thinking of mounting it, and on what vehilce. Bumper mount would be best, due to the length of the antenna.

Hello, you certainly need this item:Wilson Electronics Dual Band - 800-1900 MHz Magnet Mount Antenna with SMA Male Connector and 10-Foot RG174 Coax Cable. This antenna also works real good indoors (I use mine indoors, it is stuck on top of my computer tower). Naturally, if you want, you can mount it on top of your car and use it mobile. This item really helps boost your signal all the way around. Regards, John

This is a magnet mount mobile antenna, the metal body of the vehicle becomes the "ground plane" for this antenna. Although, if you have a metal roof on a shed or your house you could mount the antenna on it.
