Hello. I'm new to the CB hobby and seeking advice from saged CBers.
I'm planning on doing a permanent antenna install on my Cherokee XJ. I have a couple of heavy duty standard mounts, but lately I've been considering using NMO instead. However, I just read an Amazon review which claims NMO can't take as much abuse as a standard mount. Sounds counterintuitive to me since the NMO would spread any impacts over a wider surface area. I'd like whatever mount I have to be able to support a 108" whip if necessary (I already have an adapter stud on order I planned on putting the whip on), so obviously I'm looking to start with just about the most heavy duty gear.
Any truth to the wimpy NMO statement? Any advice for how I should start? Thanks!
