So what do you guys/gals think of 3/8 hole NMO mounts as opposed to 3/4 hole NMO mounts? I've been told that the smaller 3/8 hole makes the mounting significantly stronger.
While we're on the subject, what do you think of RG8X coax in mobile installations? I know, it's solid core. But man, the loss is so much lower. As long as I'm adding a NMO mount GPS antenna using RG8X, it would seem appropriate to just install all my NMO mounts with RG8X. Antenex also sells mounts with a (stranded core) Teflon coax that has low loss, but not as low loss as RG8X.
