Hi all,
I want to replace an antenna my father lost during our recent halloween snowstorm on his car.
He had a Comet 2m/440 dual band antenna with a PL 259 stud going to an adjustable SO 239 universal lip mount. A branch flew out of a dump truck and cracked his antenna in half one day after the storm.
For a replacement, I'd like to get him the same antenna as me, the TRAM model 1180 sm/440 antenna. At less than half the price of competitors, it's a great antenna with impressive capabilities.
The only downfall is its NMO only, which is fine for me because I personally love NMO mounts, but for my father, who is happy with his universal lip mount that he switches vehicles with.
So my question is, who makes an adapter to go from a NMO antenna to a SO 239 mount? Does such a thing exist?
Other ideas welcome.
thanks and merry christmas!
