It’s a Ford. Through-bolts for a ceiling mount.
They really won't because they're so short as to be non-existent as far as the antenna system is concerned and the ground plane as far as the antenna system is concerned is the roof under the mag mount.
Really it is and if you understand how antenna systems work you'd know why. In the presence of a poor RF ground the antenna system will try to use anything it can both to source electrons from and return them to, usually the coax. So if you have a length of coax that's providing sufficient source and sink and you shorten that then it'll go further down the chain trying to compensate which then means your radio as that's next in line and any wiring from the radio such as the microphone and power wires.
You are correct......"Your antenna is barely working right"!
Let's see here ......mag mount antenna w/ poor ground plane and shortened coax.....oh, then the coax runs to the radio (which obviously has not good ground, hence sourcing ground through mic.....resulting in lip burn).

The things you are posting are not even true.
I wrote in the original post seven pages back that I extended to coax to factory length and there are no issues.
That’s the biggest frustration I’ve ever had with this forum - people make up things to get their rocks off.
How exactly do you determine that my antenna (or any for that matter) is “barely working”, that my coax is “shortened”, or that I’m getting RF Burns from the mic?
I truly don’t get people like that, that insist on offering criticism on things without being bothered to read.

Well, . . it was funny.
“True” might be different. But it was close enough for the hand grenade thrown. (Skeletons don’t always read, write, hear or see all that well [avatar])
What do you think it is at this point? (Aren’t you glad you’re typing versus trying to form words around that lip burn. Ouch. Want more salty popcorn?)

Here is a homemade solution to mag mount. Drill that hole in the roof, get the needed GP.
I’m down for a laugh occasionally, as anyone is.
However, between you and Slowmover you must have nearly 2 dozen posts in this thread, none of which contribute anything other than a waste of time.
I just don’t know why you two picked this thread to spam.
