Hi Again,
I need to replace the two AM-FM radio antennas and the two CB antennas
on the coach. They are all NMO style mounts. I have searched the web
and they are hard to find. Anyone know where they can be found? I have
searched CB shops, truck shops, NAPA, Radio Shack, etc. Has anyone
used another type of mount instead of the NMO style? If so, how did you
retrofit?
Thanks,

I used a trunk mount attached to an alum. angle which I attached to the front of
the "goat rail". That was on a cel antenna but the principle would be the same
on others. I think that the trunk mount might be a NMO style only with the
addition of the trunk mounting piece underneath and held in place with 2 screws
from under the underside. Maybe not. But, you could drill the alum. angle and
put the NMO mount through that.

Randy:
Give these people a call. Their antennas all have the loading coil
at the base of the antenna and the stainless steel rod is very
flexible and take kindly to being laid back with a tree limb.
I have used their amateur radio antennas for years and have never had
one fail.
I am sure they can help you with both the AM/FM and CB antennas.

My local CB shop set me up when I needed some, he told me that the
mount is common with "business-band" radios.
The CB Shop, in Holland, MI, located in the Tulip City Truck Stop lot

There should have been a link but I omitted it.

That should do the trick. Sorry but I must have had a "senior moment"
