Any amateur radio operators here?

I picked up my fender NMO mount from Ham Radio Outlet. You can get them from Amazon and ebay too.

That's pretty slick. Nicely done!

easiest way is through the dome light. pull it down and you have access to the roof.

Pretty much what looks like happened with thethirdtwin. There was a cell booster installed when I bought it. NMO mount and RG58, so good to go.

This is how my 2018 Yukon XL is configured. The mount is a Comet CV2ANTNCG (https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/cma-cv2antncg). I already had several of the Larsen NMO mounts. I do want to add a ground strap to the mount.
I have cut a few sections of clear PPF to protect the paint where the mount could potentially rub. Performance has been satisfactory. I'm too often traveling with a Yakima-branded photon torpedo on the roof to have a roof-mounted antenna, though I'd much prefer that. I do have power directly fed to the radio from the internal drivers-side fusebox.

Happy to answer any questions about it. 73!

I would power the radio directly from the battery. Its easy enough to snake through somewhere on the firewall. Just run your fuse in line. Sweet set up though!

Looks like you have that installed on the passenger side. All of the info I can find on that mount specifies it can "only" go on the driver side (which didn't make any sense to me) - any insight on that?

Thanks!
