What!?! Did I just see
@mmckenna recommend a mag mount?!?
Yeah, ya' caught me.
Honestly, mag mounts have their place. And no, it's not the trash can. They are a good option for very short term (days) installs. In QHaba's instance, I doubt his parents are going to let him drill a hole in their car (but they should).
I do own three mag mounts:
2 are stuck to a tool cabinet in my garage. Both are NMO, one is Larsen, one is Laird. The Larsen has a PL259 connector on the end, and I purchased it back in the early 90's for putting a temporary CB antenna (NMO-27) on my truck when I was transferred to Seattle.
The other one has a mini-UHF connector on it. Left over from a temporary install at work when we still ran Motorola radios.
The third one resides stuck on the inside of the service body on my work truck. I use it for temporary testing of locations for permanent antenna installs.
Everything else meets with the 3/4" hole saw and Mr. Milwaukee.
