Mount for Pro-79 Handheld

[ScannerSky]

Hey all,

I have a Pro-79 handheld scanner that I am using in my Jeep and I wanted to know what kind of mount would be best for it. I have the RadioShack mag mount antenna and I am running the coax through my back passenger door jamb. I saw something like this - Car Cup Holder Mount for Uniden GE Radio Shack Bearcat & Other Handheld Scanners & Radios which caught my attention. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Either that or something like this from the same dealer: Car Cup Holder Mount for Handheld Radios with Belt Clips They also make one for GRE scanners that looks identical, but has a different part number: Car Cup Holder Mount for GRE PSR-100 PSR-300 PSR-500 Scanner

I kind of like it because it raises the radio up a little more than the one you showed. I can't tell from the picture, but it appears that it also tilts.

Forgive me for not having a good knowledge of New Jersey geography, but you are in NJ and this company is in NJ, so why not just give them a call and ask which one they recommend? If you are close enough, they might even let you come by and see which one works best in your Liberty.

The only thing I would avoid are those ones that attach to the windshield with suction cups. If this falls off the windshield... wait, let me correct that... WHEN this falls off the windshield, it could really cause problems!

Thanks so much Scott! They aren't too far away from me so I will give them a buzz for sure! I am going to send you a PM...

I bought on of these from ebay:SM325-S : Universal Phone Mount for Seat Bolt or Floor Mounting (see 5th item down in left column) It has bee redesigned a little since I bought mine so check the specs. Even though it says it is a phone mount, I have a Pro 96 and it fits nice and snug...plus you still get to use you cup holder!

That is another good option! Thank you!! I think I will probably end up getting a cup holder mount just because I like it right there lol.

Cup Holder mounted is great if you can live without the extra cup holder, which is great for about 95% of users. My wife rides with me regularly so I need both of cup holders. Just remember that the bar on the one I showed you is completely flexable and very sturdy, so it can be flexed into most any direction or position. Here are a couple of pics of my set up just for reference:

I am interested in the cup holder mount from Mount Guys - http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/cm623-scanner.htm. Does anyone have this? If so, can someone please tell me if it will work even though I need to get a plug to charge it in there? I keep it plugged into the cigarette lighter all the time so if I can do that, I will get it! It looks pretty cool! Pictures would be appreciated!

Thanks and Happy New Year!
