Default LR3 Ham Radio/CB antenna mount

Hello,

New member here. I have searched the forum but am having a hard time finding an antenna mount that can be purchased here in the states for my LR3. I would prefer a bonnet antenna mount but the only ones that I have found are in the European/Australian market and the shipping cost makes them higher than I am willing to spend for a mount. Is anyone aware of a bonnet antenna mount available in the USA?

If not, I would consider a mount that would fit the factory roof rail if anyone has a recommendation. Thanks in advance.

Really easy to replicate the bonnet mount, i made one but then fitted a bull bar before i wired it up.

For my ham radio VHF antennas I use THESE

They are in Australia and a bit pricey but they have held up for more than 6 years on several of the Rovers in our stable. IF you have a roof rack, then there are numerous option available.

Hope this helps

Jeff

Cheaper than the Aussie one maybe:

Glad I went GMRS, much more popular in my area and the antenna is smaller, although its on a swappable base so I can put a whip on if I want. Have a hand held for the other stuff when needed.
