[A/S] Re: Cell/Radio Antennas



Actually, "Mag Mount" antennas are not as
efficient as a good body mount.
I would contact your local Commercial
Radio shop for an "install" of a body mount
"NMO" (motorola) mount.
This mount will make 100% contact with
your aluminum skin, and will supply an
industry standard contact that will accept
today's, AND tomorrow's antennas.

I've had a body mount on every one of
my vehicles. Compared with the "Mag
Mounts" which over time will scratch
finishes, the body mount adds value.

A good installation should run a high quality,
fully shielded coax through the skin, and
fished through body panels to a grommeted
exit point convenient to your phone/radio location.
