144 / 440 / 900 Mobile Antenna

I can't find any in a mobile version, prefer NMO mount. Plenty of mono band or tri band for handhelds, but nothing for mobiles. Any ideas?

Good luck. Just for shiits and gigles I tried the larson 150/450/800 mobile scanner antenna on 900 but it was a no go. Very high SWR but the receive is preety good, acceptable I would have to say. I was cruising around with a 900 rig testing this a couple weeks ago and I had good range on receive with this antenna on a trunk lip mount. I'm considering one of those Motorola shark fin roof top antennas for 900. The 800 MHz versions seem to work quite well so I was thinking of trying one for 900.

I remember the MAXSCAN1000 has a good match on 2m and 440 but never checked 900.

I purchased one a couple years back from http://www.rfwiz.com/Comtelco/ComtelcoMobile4.htm
It seems to work reasonably well for what it is.

Interesting...I may try that.

900 seems to be picking up a little around here. There are 4 active repeaters I can hit from my shack and a 5th coming online soon. Myself and a couple friends are considering putting one up locally here also.

Look at the mp super-m. I know of one guy running it mobile. He gets reasonable swr on 900 with it.
