    I have these for interchangeable for different terrain/areas: •Midland 5/8 wave mxta-25, 5/8 wave, 3db gain, nmo •Browning 5/8 wave br-176s, 3db gain(tunable), nmo … not sure on the wave spec •Midland mxta-26, 6 db gain, (tunable), nmo probably going to get a 4 or 6” pvc pipe with bottom cap and top screw lid. for storing them in so they don’t receive damage when not in use. Just received my kg-1000g today. Weather sux today, but hope to get it in truck later this week, run wires power/antenna, and check/tune swr. I’m probably going to place my ham antenna at the back tailgate, I have left/right side mounts for ham/cb and center the gmrs mount on top of the roof.

    Looks like I will be using tailgate mounts for separating and reserve the roof plate for GMRS, they are the shorter type ( nmo browning br-176s, and midland mxta-25 ). I will check continuity of each for mounting grounds/connections.

    Understood, maki sure there is a proper grounding of each antenna for the truck to act as the plain. As far as the separation/distance is best at 4ft. I have considered mounting GMRS antennas on the roof plate, then a cb and ham antennas on opposite sides at the tailgate.

    To everyone that has pitched in with all the help, thank you! I am a newbie to anything but cb radio, old school. Can I mount two different gmrs antennas on that same plate and switching out to radio as needed, being are both for the same frequency use? Then mount a cb antenna on one side of the tailgate and a ham radio antenna to the other side to have all antennas/frequencies separated far enough anyway to alleviate or help with these issues?

    The body of my truck is all aluminum alloy. Finding ground continuity can be a challenge. Could I use some10 awg or 18awg insulated wire to accomplish this?
  13. WSAZ909
    That cable came with the NMO mount( Midland – MXTA24 Low Profile Antenna Cable with NMO Connector , https://a.co/d/2InzGkf ) It is being changed out for a different mount. Do you have a nmo mount recommendation!

    So, with your antenna set up, any bleed over , one into another radio when tx? A distance of 14”, but on the same plain, would be ok?
  15. WSAZ909
    What would be the least and ideal distance these antennas should be apart on a truck. I do have some optional mounts that can be placed on the fender/tailgate area. But these will not have any plane to work with.

    I’m intending to use this 3rd light antenna/led light mount/plate for many different antennas. (Pics below) Will this plate work as properly as a flat solid metal plate used as a plain?(as I have heard of folks using a o sheet. Next…will multiple antenna installed on this plate or a solid plate cause interference or feedback into a different radio in the same vehicle when multiple radio installed are on ion the same vehicle?

    Will a simple on/off toggle switch inline with the positive power wire alive this power draw issue?
