One of our departments bought some new Mac roll off trucks that comes pre-wired for a CB. Is anyone aware of an adapter to convert the CB antenna mount to an NMO for our commercial radios? There is not enough slack in the coax to solder on an NMO, and I'm looking for a simpler solution that...

I purchased a new antenna a few weeks ago. https://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/laird-technologies-b7603-5918 I took it out of the packaging and mounted it on my car with no adjusting. It easily out-performed the other antenna I had which is similar to this, but has a spring at the base...

Picked up a new truck last week. Installed the Icom 880H and a NMO mount antenna in the roof. Often people are wondering if this can be done with trucks that have a sunroof. Here are a couple pictures.
