2016 Ram 1500 Mobile

[kb1elv]

Here's a few pictures of my BCD436HP installed in my Ram 1500. I got an angled USB cable off Amazon that plugs into the always on USB plug in the center console. I can also move it to a switched USB in the same console if I need to. The mount is a Proclip with a Motorola mic holder screwed into it. I am using a Laird 800MHz 1/4 wave NMO drilled into the roof.

I chose this antenna mainly for height reasons. I mostly monitor the State Police 800MHz system in MA as well. I get great reception on 450MHz and so/so for VHF Hi. If I'm not listening to the SP trunk, I'm close to the departments I'm listening to so it usually works out just fine.

You will have optimum performance, and no loss running the antenna directly on the roof using a PERMANENT NMO mount. No two ways about it; You're doing it right from the get-go. Congrats on a job well-done!

I currently have 12 NMO mounts on my POV. And have done permanent NMO mounts for as long as I can remember on all my vehicles.

I have. The photos should be part of my user profile / attached images. A few changes have been made since the original install (more antennas; removal of light packages) but pretty much the same.

Hey, nice setup! I have a 436 too. I see your an MA local, eh? Not bad. I'm in MIddlesex county too. You should listen to Marlboro sometime, busy city with a lot of interesting calls.
