WONDERING IF THIS ANTENNA MOUNT EXISTS

[TonyV225]

I m curious if there a mount that goes from the 3/8 inch stud to a so-239 connector? I am looking at a multiband antenna for the wifes van and seen they make special mounts for the pl-259 equipped antenna to connect to but I have a few mag munts and if I could find a mount like I mentioned that would work but how strong would it be Ide have to wonder.

Yeah Tony there sure are. That is what I use on my truck. Is mounted to flat bar stock coming off the bed rail. Have had it on there for years and don't remember where I got it. Might have been a local independent Radio Shack that still carries a lot of CB stuff. Should be fairly common. Check CB sellers & ebay. I'll let you know if I see one somewhere.

Do you mean one of these

Or an adapter like this.

Ok what I have is the quad magnet mount setup. The question I have is its setup for antennas with 3/8 inch studs on the bottom to be used on it like firesticks predtor 10k compitition style antennas. I was looking at an 80-2 meter antenna for my wife and the one I found is like an outbacker remake and has the PL-259 style connection to mount it.

What Im asking is instead of purchasing the special mount from the antenna farm for around $80.00 after shipping... Is there a mount made that will connect to my 3/8 stud mount quad mag mount setup that would have the propper PL-259 connection on it to avoid buying another mount?

Ok this should help this is what Im looking at now

Odd thing happen tonight my wife and I drove to a friends house because he said he had a box of odds and ends parts resistors lightbulbs test leads connectors well I seen a mount and picked it out of the box it was one of those 3/8 inch stud spring loaded quick disconnects for antennas push turn twist well i put that back in the box and grabbed the next mount it was a few screwed together and I looked again and said wait I pulled them apart and low and behold there was just what I was asking about and needed its actually a so239 on one end and a 3/8 inch stud on the other so this will work it screws into the quad mag mount and you can run a wilson coil or this multiband ham antenna I am after.

I couldnt believe my eyes talk about luck!!! but now where the heck did this come from I would like a few more I actually got extra replacement studs aswell in that box of goodies along with a bunch of other stuff. This mount I needed and now have looks brand new. Anyone know where I can get more of these or who made them? like I said its a 3/8 inch stud at one end and a SO-239 standard female coax hookup at the other.

QRN I see the one you actually posted is what Im after but without the flat stock bracket I just want the SO-239 and 3/8 inch stud I just looked and this Bills 2way may have them.

All you had to do is go to the truckstop and buy one, every mirror mount style antenna uses that.

YUPP MACK THATS IT THATS WHAT I HAVE RIGHT THERE!!! I just unscrewed the bottom female end on this one and I have that 3/8 stud and SO-239 as in you first pic you posted. So a truck stop mirror mount?? Thanks for your help Mack answer found problem solved

 

[bioman]

[TonyV225]
