Tram Browning Magnetic mount #3269 is the one I think you are talking about. check with Tram Browning at: 1-405-359-8243 or email sales@trambrowning.com . they can help you make sure you are ordering the right base for your use.

I haven't seen this one offered that way. I suspect that you could do a short PL-259 barrel and a right angle PL-259, but I would check carefully that the right angle doesn't bang up the roof. This would be an after-purchase mod, but it might serve your needs. I'm an extra class ham, but on long road trips I still want a CB on hand for road info, and this mount has hung on during multiple trips at 75 MPH into screaming winds coming down from Wyoming.

The HH-9900 antenna has a PL-259 connector which screws directly into a SO-239. I believe the Browning uses a NMO connector which would not be compatible unless an adapter is available.

My antenna attached to this mount with 2 u-bolts that came with the antenna. The u-bolts clamp around the upper end of the mount.

Here you go (if you haven't bought one already): MPD Digital smaF/pl259f SMA Female to UHF SO239 PL259 Female RG58 Adapter Cable, 3-feetExact setup that I have and it worked great (until it got taken out by a branch. Upgrading to a flexible antenna now).

What I did was go to Home Depot and buy a threaded 1" O.D. pipe. I also got an adapter there that steps the 1" up to 1 1/8" or 1/14"...either is okay. I then bought a rubber union with two hose clamps attached to it. I inserted the 1" pipe into the adapter, and the adapter into the rubber union. I fastened one clamp on the adapter, the other end onto the 1+1/2" antenna mast. I bought silver paint to match the mast and the parts....and the black rubber union. Paited it all, hooked the antenna up to the 1" pipe...Voila...done!

Negative. You need to provide your own. It is the antenna and mounting hardware only. It works great.

This extension mast pole does not fit either the DS-3000 or DS-2000 mounting bracket. Both mounting brackets have a wider inside diameter than this mast. I ordered both and ended up wrapping the extension mast with duct tape and then drilling 5 self tapping screws to hold the mast inside the mounting bracket. Seems to be a good fit and the added screws will help hold it for the long run. Check back in 5 years and see if it still hold. I used the DS-2000 and this mast to install an Antennacraft ST4 Outdoor Scanner/Ham Discone TV Antenna.

Hello Brandon, yes that was my idea too. I have attached an 9 dbi antenna that was 5 times the size of the original antenna. And there was totally no difference in range

The small aluminum pipe that holds the antenna (via 2 small bolts) is ~6" long, and the antenna comes with 2 clamps that fit this tube and then attach to a 1-1/2" pipe you provide. Yes, the antenna has a PL-259 (UHF) Female connector inside the mounting tube. I was somewhat disappointed that the clearance between the PL-259 Male connector and the aluminum tube was negligible, to the point that no weatherproofing can be applied, not even one wrap of tape. I ended up caulking the tube at the top.

The mounting bracket that the antenna screws into needs to be GROUNDED..to the vehicle if not clamped to metal on the vehicle. Your answer is YES, you need a good ground on the bracket or mount that the antenna screws into! Hope this helps..Paul

I had to buy different mounts. The ones supplied are nice but they are not 30mm (3\8). I looked at adapters and such but ended up getting new higher rise mounts.

No I am sorry but that will not work with your unit. This antenna is hooked up to a clearly marked area of your receiver which has two screws designated for this antenna. Sorry.

Possibly... the antenna can be mounted with the mag-mount base (comes with the kit)and you'd need a longer cable to extend the short one on the base--the connector type is called SMA. You may be able to find a long range antenna for the Alpha and a clamp-type mount that would make it easy to put the antenna anywhere...(the Alpha stays inside while the cable (coaxial) goes from the card to the antenna outside)

I haven't put mine up yet but yes it does have a mount on the bottom and screws on two sides which would screw into either wood or steel. The diameter of that piecewould have to be no bigger than 1 1/8" wide (and that would be tight). I would go with something 1" wide. Of course you could then screw that piece into something bigger to serve as your main pole orstand for the antenna.

Yes it can but, I had to cut the mount bracket down for it to clear the connector. If you plan on using the antenna mounting hardware, you may need to trim the mount tubing buy about an inch.

Yes, just unscrew the center and change everthing out to the proper hardware you want use. Works very well for the large boomarang antenna I installed on it.
