Does the antenna unscrew off? Can I put away just the antenna and leave the base and wire to the base on?

yes it does unscrew it is constructed well , but yes it does unscrew from the base .
1667495
the coax is intregal to the antenna ,so there is nothing to gain by screwing it off.

Yes, you can unscrew the antenna, but since the antenna cable is hard-wired, no connector on the antenna base, you cannot put away the antenna.
1667497
no it does not ,it looks like it does but its molded ,it only comes apart at the bolt ,you can fold it down but not remove the antenna

Antennas are detachable (scew in) but the base attached to the board is cheap quality and can easily break. Mine broke and has rendered the unit useless (for wireless) as only way to get this repaired would be to solder the new socket on to the board which entails shipping it back for repair or replacement and since this happened just after a year of purchase, it would be costly.

It's not a bad idea to remove it to be on the safe side although I've left it on before without any problems. The two questions that I would ask are 1) is it a touchless car wash and 2) how well does the antenna "stick" to your roof. Touchless car wash should be fine although even a scrubber wash might be okay too, dependent upon how close/tight the scrubber works on the roof. The roof of a truck for example sits higher than a car so it might be more likely for the scrubber to remove the antenna. On my sedan I had no problem. As far as "stickiness", when I affix my antenna to the roof it makes a "ka-thunk" sound so I know it's really sticking down hard. If it's not sticking down hard for you then you might want to remove it for car washes.

Hi, Yes, the antenna is replaceable, just unscrews. I feel the factory 6" antenna has acceptable gain, but I guess this is personal preference.Bob

There is no way to disconnect the coax from the antenna. Mine performs as expected for a G5RV. Well made. It has survived several severe storms and doing well so far this winter. Honestly, one could be made for a lot less, but if you are not into homebrew, I would recommend this as the price is decent for the quality. Using it a Yaesu FT-857 and YT-100 Tuner. Tunes good, but not the best antenna I've used for "all bands".Hope this helps!KC9QVGAlex L

No magnets are used on the bases of this model of antenna. the base has 2 1-1/2" piviting rectangler plates that pivit to 1 side and allows you to slide the base of the antenna into the hole where the old antenna use to be. you might have to have someone make a spacer ring out of some sheet metal and wield it in place incase the hole is too big?

The antenna is removable, however it is not extendable. You also receive a ear bug, belt or pocket clip and charging unit.

I've never removed the antennas, and I don't know the answer to your other questions. I just know that it works well.

Any bending of the antenna will snap it at the base. Can happen putting the cover on/off or especially in windy conditions as the cover turns into a kite.

Yes, the antenna can unscrewed and will connect with any SMA female type adapter.

Replace the primary antenna of the two. Yes, the other antenna will also need to stay attached.

Yes it comes with the cable and a cap to screw on the base if you choose to take the antenna off.

Yes the base can be removed without dismantling the wire part of the cage. The base snaps on with 2 clips on each end (4 total). You'll need to be careful with the 3 tier cage as it will be rather "top heavy" (2 people w/b best). Hope this info helps. These cages are good products.

Yes it will unscrew from the base... Once you have the post out of the base you can than take the base out of the nut section... If you have the mount already on something you might want to hold the base when you try and pull the post out... That way you don't pull everything off and end up having to replace the glue tape or worse the mount it self or repairing what ever you have the thing mounted too...

No, this base of the antenna has a flat spot with a small screw through the flat spot for mounting, above the flat spot is a pivot to fold the antenna down.

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.
