Comet CP-5NMO CP5NMO Original RS-730 w/CK-3M5 166 NMO

The hole in the lip mount was too small for the included NMO antenna base to fit into. It required drilling the hole out larger, which was quite difficult.

Perfect use for my low band and VHF antennas to still be able to fit into my garage. Works awesome that they mounted right to the side mounts of a BackRack

I will admit putting it on and getting the antenna to stand up correctly took some time but it was well worth it. This mount stayed on and never needed adjustment. I used it 3 years until I sold the car. When I took it off there were no tell tale marks where it had been. I reinstalled it on my new truck with out any trouble. I have a 2m/70 cm antenna on it.

I have this on my 4runner, its very sturdy

The pl259 is supposed to be the type you can take apart for easy routing. My pl259 came apart in one place, at the ferrule. Nothing else would unscrew or come apart. Had to cut it because its cheap junk metal that distorts when you breathe on it. Wish it actually did come apart for easy routing. Guess Im ordering connectors and not using my transceiver until the parts come in now.

Very versatile mount. Comet mounts are always too notch.

When it comes to similar trunk lid melts, this one has a larger, more bulky appearance in the more slim line version from Diamond. I do like the fact that has the larger more insulated coax cable for a majority of the installation, but I had a hard time getting the PL-259 adapter off the coax cable in order to run it through the vehicle. Also had a hard time with the junction of the two coax cables wanting to curl and kink constantly. Have concerns for longevity. Returned it and went with a diamond trunk lid mount instead.

Much better than the last one I purchased [10 years till no longer functional] hold downs, positioning .. this time bolts.. far improved over hex key screws! Nice unit!

We certainly like the mount. However they barely fit the lip of the rear hatch on a Dodge Journey. They fit, however just barely. Grounding is an issue and loss of paint from opening and closing the hatch. The second mount we received had a loose NMO mount insert that we had to secure. The insert became lodged in the antenna and we had a heck of a time removing the insert to reinstall on the NMO mount, with thread lock. All in all, it beats drilling holes, dropping headliners, etc. You have to keep a constant eye on these mounts, but they work.

I recently purchased this Comet CP-5NMO trunk mount, for my Mustang. The Browning BR-140 NMO antenna is fastened to it and into my Cobra 25 LTD. Because this is a trunk mount, the lid itself might NOT have a COMPLETE ground to the body when closed. I installed 3/8 wide copper braided wire on both sides of the lid, directly to the body. There were trunk and body bolts to attach the braided copper wire for solid uninterrupted possible ground problems. With this Comet trunk mount and the Browning BR-104 Antenna being perfectly vertical, plus the exceptional SWR, what more can you ask for.
