VHF Antenna mount

[theoldsalt]

Hi fellow forumites,

I have been trying to find a suitable rail mount for a VHF antenna which has a PL 259 connector in the base so the mount needs to have an SO 239 connector for the antenna to screw on.

I have found exactly what I have been looking for through Amazon.com but the supplier refuses to ship to the UK.

See here :-

Does anyone know of a UK supplier for this item, please ?

Many thanks

If you google SO239 rail mount you'll find plenty. They are often used to attach aerials to lorry wing mirrors.
Cable length and quality varies as does the bracket construction material. Boat rail is either 3/4" or, more commonly, 1".
You can also get L brackets which in turn attach to a rail mount bracket.

Salty john,

Yes I have tried that and many combinations of a title but nothing comes up that is similar.

PS I did find your web site near the top of the list though.

Many thanks

John,

That looks a great alternative and much cheaper.

Many thanks for your help.
