Antenna Base (Which one?)
Which Antenna mount should I get? It will be a ratcheting, but should I go with the metal or nylon ratcheting base?
Thanks....
Thanks....
Got a nylon on mine. Used to think I wanted a stainless.
After abusing my $70.00 antenna a couple times by stepping on it when it was retracted, and smacking it last weekend while backing it under the shelter. I'm now glad I got the plactic one that gives. Better than the fiberglass antenna cracking.
Another point to concider; the antenna will screw onto the base. You'll have about 15 foot of cable to deal with hanging off the base of the antenna when you screw it on.

GPS antenna
On the same subject....I need a base for my GPS antenna. I would like a nylon, but can't find one to fit on an 1-1/4" rail.
I've checked Bass Pro, west marine, and boaters world...no luck.
Any ideas???
