FAQs
Will this damage my vehicle's paint?
Magnetic mounts can trap grit against the paint surface over long periods, so they're best suited to temporary or short-term use rather than a permanent fit. For a permanent install, a bolted bracket is the better option.
What antennas does this fit?
It's designed for the GME AE4007, AE4008, AE4018, AE4018B, AE4018W, AE4001, and AE4002 whips, all using the standard 5/16" thread.
Does this come with everything I need to connect my radio?
Yes, it includes 4.5m of low-loss coaxial cable with a PL259 connector pre-fitted, ready to plug into your radio.
