http://www.kcomm.biz This video shows how to install a NMO type antenna mount..It was mounted on a 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck at Kcomm the ham radio store in San Antonio, Tx..I aquired my brother Tim KE5CFZ to help me..The NMO mount requires a 3/4" hole which was drilled thru the roof just in front of the cargo light assembly..The coax was then run under the headliner, down under the inside trim, then under the kick panel to behind the drivers seat..The coax was cut to length, pl-259 was soldered on & a Tram dual band antenna was screwed onto the NMO mount..The antenna was tested with an analyzer & all SWR checks were good on VHF & UHF..Thanks for watching..73s, Mel, WA5UTK,
