Antenna/Mount Question

Post by jluisi86 »

Hi, i installed a CDM-1550 LS+ UHF (450-512MHz)in my truck and i need something more in cable lenght for the antenna. The standard 17' NMO antenna mount wont reach and i do not want to hack up an extension to add to it. I searched a couple months back and found a 30' cable set-up but of course i didnt save it. Anyone know a place that sells high quality NMO antenna mount set-ups longer than 24'? I know i def. need 22' but if it comes in 30' i will just trim it. Thanks!

Buy the NMO mount separately and solder in your own cable.
