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

I purchased this mount to go with my Diamond CR8900

Very well made and worth the money. After breaking two knock off mounts I ordered this mount and have had no problems since. Mount is sturdy and locks into place once tightened down. Perfect for my jeep. The knockoff mounts do not do this. I wish I had purchased this mount in the beginning.

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.

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

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

Excellent antenna mount, work perfect.

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.

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.
