NMO Roof Mount Location

[FrostyFruits]

I'm looking to add 3 nmo mounts to my roof. It's a 2014 Ram 1500. This is the layout I'm going with. Red is GMRS, Blue is CB, Purple is 2m, Black line is sat shark fin. Are there any issues with the distance between the 3? Right now I have 2 mag mounts with the GMRS at the Red and a the CB at the yellow dot, I don't wanna add a 3rd mag mount so my roof is getting 3 holes.

This is also another option but I'd prefer the first.

you should be good with the first option.  I run similar on my F150 (6 NMO mounts). Rear is CB and VHF, front are all bands, and farthest front are UHF

Sweet, I didn't think there'd be issues but figured I'd ask. It's hard to find info on multi nmo roof mounts. Do you have multiband radios or do you have 6 radios installed?

[gortex2]

I run 3 APX 8500 all bands, 2 to multi antennas and one on the vhf Normally

DANG! I need me one of those! When it says request quote you know it's expensive. I probably couldn't afford 1 let alone 3. Lol. Are you a first responder or public safety?

[gortex2]

Yes to both.

Well I did it. I drilled 3 holes. My heart was pounding the hole time but it really wasn't too bad. I would do it again if I had to. Put some dielectric grease on the o-rings before tightening them down. As long as there's no leaks when it rains I'll be good.

Can I ask what you use the sat for? The ocd in me is twitching because it’s not centered lol….

It's stock for the radio. I didn't install it. I don't even use it. The newer rams they moved it to center the 3rd brake light.
