mount a 102" on a wilson mount?

Post by Twink »

i've got a wilson 1000 mag mount and i love it. when i'm at home or at a friends house, it'd be nice to throw up a 102" to act as a "mobile base antenna" as in i don't expect the wilson mag mount to support the antenna while driving. the only thing is, it looks like the mount is propriatary to wilson antennas. but it looks just like a female end of a 239 connector. is there an adapter or way to rig a 102" onto that mount?

any other "really" cheap solutions? i'm jobless....

That mount would not make much sense because it contains a wrapped coil which would create an antenna length that would be way off band for CB use. Your SWR would be ski-high also.
This is assuming you haven't come up with a way to bypass the magmount's internal coil....that or you just wanted a really thick stinger and were planning of cutting off A LOT of the 102''s whip to make the antenna match.

Aw shucks, your from Central Ohio too. Hmm...you local to Wrong Way's area?

lol... yeah. me and wrongway light up the pills almost everyday. as far as coil.... isn't the coil on the antenna? is there a coil actually inside the magnet mount part?

i'm not talking about taking the stinger out of the coil, i'm talking about taking the whole thing off and attaching a 102" to the mount
