some ham sticks use same 3/8 mount. radio been bad the past few days. got a outher X class solar flair today. effected 20 meters. CB no DX just back ground noise and some local 19 traffic. getting plenty of NOAA alerts. CB is great when on the go. 73's

Dang, that's just weird. I haven't used mobile AM CB since the mid 80's so I had no idea also. Lol
I have a number of FM HT CB's though. 477MHz and want an external antenna on my SUV. Fun times ahead. :)

For 2m/70cm you drill out the CB antenna hole in the fender mount large enough to accept a NMO mount for your antenna.

Yep

Useful video. I had to work out how to do exactly this for my Tarheel which uses the same size stud mount. I ended up using mounts from a US company called HiQ. Took a bit of research to find a robust solution.

I'll be checking on that, thanks!

Some Ham antennas use the same mounting system. 73
