Third Brake Light Antenna Mount by Bullet Proof Diesel. For Amateur radio communications such as UHF, VHF, CB, or GPS without drilling holes in the roof of your vehicle.
Thanks...I can't remember what the SWR reading was but it was very good. I put a larger antenna on it that works awesome....Comet SBB5 NMO 38". I also have a smaller antenna if I need to shorter....Comet B-10 NMO 12".
When I did this install, my range on my last truck (steel) went from probably 7 miles, to maybe a mile on my new truck (aluminum). Any idea what I need to change to get my range back?
You need to add a couterpoise to act as a grounding plane. If you search on google for the term “vehicle couterpoise’ it should point you in the right direction. My apologies if you fall down the rabbit hole ;)
Great video thank you 😊
Nice job
Nice. I have the 300 setup the same as you on my Ranger. What's the SWR readings with this mount? I want one

No Ground Plane for reflection needs. Metal type will not make any difference. Reflection will happen on Aluminum or Steal.
I wish they had the dual for the Silverado. Would have saved me a hole in the roof.
Thats slick, but is it really $550?
No....that is for the upper end ones. I believe I paid in the $300 range. No cheap, but I did not drill holes in my roof....works awesome!!!
The higher priced ones are the baja design with the LED lights.
