Comet CP-5NMO CP5NMO Original RS-730 w/CK-3M5 166 NMO

The hole in the lip mount was too small for the included NMO antenna base to fit into. It required drilling the hole out larger, which was quite difficult.

Well constructed, easy to install and adjust. Great fit on my truck.

The pl259 is supposed to be the type you can take apart for easy routing. My pl259 came apart in one place, at the ferrule. Nothing else would unscrew or come apart. Had to cut it because its cheap junk metal that distorts when you breathe on it. Wish it actually did come apart for easy routing. Guess Im ordering connectors and not using my transceiver until the parts come in now.

I recently purchased this Comet CP-5NMO trunk mount, for my Mustang. The Browning BR-140 NMO antenna is fastened to it and into my Cobra 25 LTD. Because this is a trunk mount, the lid itself might NOT have a COMPLETE ground to the body when closed. I installed 3/8 wide copper braided wire on both sides of the lid, directly to the body. There were trunk and body bolts to attach the braided copper wire for solid uninterrupted possible ground problems. With this Comet trunk mount and the Browning BR-104 Antenna being perfectly vertical, plus the exceptional SWR, what more can you ask for.

I remove the antenna and cover the mount with an NMO rain cap when I go through the car wash. I also switch between a 1/4 wavelength and 1/2 wavelength antenna, depending on terrain. About 40 antenna length for the 1/2 wave. I grounded the mount to the hood, and I achieve about 1.2 SWR at 145.460 MHz with the 1/4 wave antenna. I am very pleased with the mounts performance.

We certainly like the mount. However they barely fit the lip of the rear hatch on a Dodge Journey. They fit, however just barely. Grounding is an issue and loss of paint from opening and closing the hatch. The second mount we received had a loose NMO mount insert that we had to secure. The insert became lodged in the antenna and we had a heck of a time removing the insert to reinstall on the NMO mount, with thread lock. All in all, it beats drilling holes, dropping headliners, etc. You have to keep a constant eye on these mounts, but they work.

I have this on my 4runner, its very sturdy
