Diamond Multimedia K400S K-400S Original K400S Heavy Duty Hatchback/Trunk Mobile Mount - K400 Base with UHF Mount - 13.5 Feet of RG316 - PL259

This mount worked well on my 2020 F350 SuperDuty truck. I mounted it drivers side, near the rear of the hood and added some PPF under the mount to prevent paint damage. I paired it with a Browning/Tram BR-180-B and have had a lot of good luck working all of the vhf/uhf repeaters around my area.

This thing is durable and made for heavier antennas. Works as it should!

I used to have the older version of this mount years ago but left it on the car I sold. Then I bought a clone of this mount and used it for about 6 months until it was ruined by the elements. So I replaced that one with this one...the real thing. I didnt realize how much I missed it. This is the most solid lip mount I have ever seen. The bracket is solid when you tighten it. When I say solid, I mean it is so rigid that you will bend your lid before this thing would budge. The coax is very thin and it goes to an sma where it connects to an adapter to connect to the rig. This principle makes it super easy to run the coax because you are not trying to send a pl259 or n type through your paneling nor do you have to remove and replace the connector. I am not sure what type of coax it is and I don’t know how much loss it has but I’m also not using it for dx so It really doesn’t matter to me. This thing is really great and worth every penny.

Needed to relocate my HAM radio antenna to the trunk. Installation is a little bit tricky but it's great quality, sturdy and it survives the car wash if you take the antenna off.

I'm using 2 of these; one for 2m/70cm and the other for 27 MHz. Very easy to install and the length of coax is perfect.Be sure to tighten down the 4 mount screws through the paint to the metal of the vehicle.
