Antenna Adapter??

KOBO

Wood Butcher
Greetings one and All..

I have a old magnetic mount antenna that I would like to use the base for testing other newer antennas, such a s a wilson 2000.

Is there a adapter to convert this older mount so I can use it with a 3/8 thread antenna?

TIA

I use a similar base, and run a Wilson 1000 or a Sirio/RM Z-180 most of the time w/xlnt results.

It might be easier to buy a mag mount with the 3/8 x 24 thread. Seen them @ Fry's Electronics for a song. The coax was crappy; I'd change it out to a better piece though...

Never seen a converter as you asked/described . . .

Call Jerry Cash @ 330-896-3485 in Canton, Ohio- He has a machine shop, and builds an adapter for this situation. He also builds antennas and mounts.
 
I would like to know what that connector is called, and dont tell me it is a PL-259 or SO-239 because the polarity is reversed.
 
I know this is an old thread but since it has been revived, there is an excellent commercially available adapter called a Comet AD-35M SO-239 to 3/8X24 Adapter. I believe MFJ also has a version of this (MFJ-7710) that looks identical.

Sorry after looking again this appears to be the wrong gender.
