Comet CP-5NMO CP5NMO Original RS-730 w/CK-3M5 166 NMO

With the 3 axis adjustment, this mount will connect to almost any point that has a lip. Nice, solid mount.

I will admit putting it on and getting the antenna to stand up correctly took some time but it was well worth it. This mount stayed on and never needed adjustment. I used it 3 years until I sold the car. When I took it off there were no tell tale marks where it had been. I reinstalled it on my new truck with out any trouble. I have a 2m/70 cm antenna on it.

The pl259 is supposed to be the type you can take apart for easy routing. My pl259 came apart in one place, at the ferrule. Nothing else would unscrew or come apart. Had to cut it because its cheap junk metal that distorts when you breathe on it. Wish it actually did come apart for easy routing. Guess Im ordering connectors and not using my transceiver until the parts come in now.

Perfect use for my low band and VHF antennas to still be able to fit into my garage. Works awesome that they mounted right to the side mounts of a BackRack

When it comes to similar trunk lid melts, this one has a larger, more bulky appearance in the more slim line version from Diamond. I do like the fact that has the larger more insulated coax cable for a majority of the installation, but I had a hard time getting the PL-259 adapter off the coax cable in order to run it through the vehicle. Also had a hard time with the junction of the two coax cables wanting to curl and kink constantly. Have concerns for longevity. Returned it and went with a diamond trunk lid mount instead.

I recently purchased this Comet CP-5NMO trunk mount, for my Mustang. The Browning BR-140 NMO antenna is fastened to it and into my Cobra 25 LTD. Because this is a trunk mount, the lid itself might NOT have a COMPLETE ground to the body when closed. I installed 3/8 wide copper braided wire on both sides of the lid, directly to the body. There were trunk and body bolts to attach the braided copper wire for solid uninterrupted possible ground problems. With this Comet trunk mount and the Browning BR-104 Antenna being perfectly vertical, plus the exceptional SWR, what more can you ask for.

I remove the antenna and cover the mount with an NMO rain cap when I go through the car wash. I also switch between a 1/4 wavelength and 1/2 wavelength antenna, depending on terrain. About 40 antenna length for the 1/2 wave. I grounded the mount to the hood, and I achieve about 1.2 SWR at 145.460 MHz with the 1/4 wave antenna. I am very pleased with the mounts performance.

This is my third unit. I have used them since my 2006 Prius and the latest is going on my 2020 Tesla. Makes mounting and running the cable as easy as possible.

Bought a glass car and need to have a hatch mount for my cx-224 antenna. 1st time using it seems pretty sturdy even with my tri band antenna on it.

The hole in the lip mount was too small for the included NMO antenna base to fit into. It required drilling the hole out larger, which was quite difficult.
