Comet CP-5M Universal RS-730 Lip Mount w/Coax Attached

Put this on my truck, on on the engine hood, a friend of mine recommended that I add a chassis ground wire to help make sure the antenna is grounded. I have had problems whatsoever with this.

Works great on the trunk for my 2/44 antenna

The core of the large friction washer broke out after less than a year installed on my 4Runner. Most of that time there was no antenna installed on the base (HF only occasionally) and it was even more rare for me to drive with it installed (ATAS-120A). I will be buying another one for parts to avoid having to completely tear apart my headliner to re-run cable, but I cannot recommend.

Great mount. Bought 2 of these to go on each side for a 2M/70cm antenna and a CB antenna. they work great and easy to install

I tried to ignore the other reviews and just installed this mount right out of the box. Sure enough, my mobile radio couldn’t transmit at all. So I did what everyone else has to do, and disassembled the entire mount and used a dremmel to scrape powder coat and paint off every screw thread and washer; anywhere two pieces of the mount touched, I took the paint off. Then I put it back together and checked with a multi-meter to make sure there was continuity all the way through the mount. Finally I was able to re-install it and my radio worked. If you do not do this, your mount will absolutely not ground itself and your radio will not work. Otherwise, a great, versatile, and rugged piece of hardware.

This a great setup for my 2013 Subaru Outback. It is fully angle adjustable and fits right into the upper left corner of the hatch back. The wire/cable portion that passes through from outside the vehicle to inside is small and therefore accommodates any closing “pinch.” The only “buyer beware” note I would make is in antenna attachment. In order to attach my Firestik II antenna, I need to buy an adaptor. Here’s the note from the US rep who was very helpful, “The adapter you need to turn the existing SO-239 connector on the mount into a 3/8-24 socket to accept the 3/8-24 stud on the antenna is model: AD-35M” Apparently there is a model of this lip mount that would have directly accommodated the Firestik, but Amazon failed to point that fact/choice out in their write-up. All of that aside, it’s a great piece and I would recommend it.

Worked perfectly for the mounting on the tailgate of my fzj80.

This is the second one of these that Ive bought. I was impressed with the quality.

I purchased this mount to go with my Diamond CR8900

So far it seems to be doing the job. I am not sure it has a good enough ground. Have not been able to check swrs yet either due to weather conditions. UPDATE: 4-4-17 This mount has caused my swrs to be the highest I have ever seen. I have raised and lowered the antenna and the swrs seem not to do anything...better or worse...it does nothing. The mounting screws are hitting bare metal so I guess it has a ground. Something isnt right, and it could be me, but I have had other mounts in the past, and this one does not seem to work with my dual band diamond antenna (2/440) As of now, I cant suggest this mount without knowing how to get a good ground to it. You will not get this problem with a mag-mount, which I guess I am going to have to get since this didnt work out. Total waste if money...it is missing a crucial ground and I dont know how to get it right.
