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

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

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.

Love this mount. I bought it with a Yaesu ATAS 120A. Mount is solid as a rock. Great product for heavier antennas!

An excellent mount for my VW Bug hatch, fits perfect, good hardware and simple to install, love the adjustments to keep the antenna perfectly vertical. And the skinny lead in coax is perfect for the entry, no leaks and its been working great now for a month.

Nice

I had high expectations for this coming from comet. Usually they have good products, but not this one. I mounted this on my Nissan Altima trunk for an MFJ 1538. Initially it seemed to be working well, but after an electrical storm, my tyt 9800 receive was fried. No chump change in this loss. I then hooked up a cheap leixan and then that got fried. (This was after i had to get a replacement coax assembly from comet because that came apart) in neither case did i get directly hit by lightning. Turns out that after grounding the mount directly, the antenna would not function. Remove the ground and it works again. This test is the basis for my assessment. The mount system can only ground through the radio. So if you get any emp or surge, the cars chassis does not absorb, it goes through your radio and burns out whatever is in its way. I should have went with my first inclination to drill a 5/8 hole and direct mount like i did with my ford explorer and another MFJ 1538 for my yeasu ft8900r and avoided the price of this plus $400 in radio equipment. Save your money. Get something that grounds properly or direct mount your so-239 and NMA antennas.

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

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.

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

Overall this is an okay mount, I use it with a CSB-770A antenna. This mount says it will ground using the set screws, but because they powder coat/pain every surface after machining the mount, you need to take the mount completely apart, and scratch paint on each section, so the connector will be grounded to the screws, which in turn are grounded to the car. Then you need to scrape pain on the car where the set screws make contact. Overall this takes about an hour, with a knife and an ohm meter. Once thats done, everything works well.
