BogMonster Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 steel - I use a mag mount sometimes on my D2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 We were using VHF sets in Saudi with mag mounts on the roof...range of transmitting was quite poor. JW drilled a hole in his roof and secured the antenna properly. The difference in transmitting and receiving was much better than mine. Most casual users seem to get away with a mag mount or gutter mounted antenna...I could never drill a hole in my Discovery roof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I could never drill a hole in my Discovery roof! why would anyone need more holes on the roof anyway? they already let enough water in :) other options for antenna mounts include ones to go on the spare wheel bracket, and there is also a light bar or two with an aerial mount attatched. Failing that, get a mirror mount, and put it around a light bar, or use an old roof rack. on an astra van i had years ago, i bolted a 4mm thick steel plate across the roof bars, secured with u bolts, and drove around with a 7ft aerial on the roof, as good as drilling into the roof, but easily reomvable without leaving a nasty hole behind.
