Which is best?!?

[CyborgAlienWRYG738]

Firstly if this isn't in the correct place, feel free to move it.

Secondly, which is the best, the Nagoya or the Tram mount?

Why don't you tell us what "best" means to YOU, then we can focus on those attributes.

As he ^ said, "best" is subjective. To my eye, as someone who is relatively new to the hobby, they look largely the same. If it were me, I'd go with the Nagoya. I know the name and something about the yellow steel on the Tram says "cheap" to me. Completely subjective and unscientific. Kind of like the original question.

BEST = Works best, actually gets low SWR readings, you know, a quality product that will last, and actually worth the money...

Yellow steel? You mean the brass NMO connector?

The best is the one you want to spend your money on.    Or, you can always flip a coin.  Heads Nagoya,   tails Tram.
