FrostyFruits Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 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.

FrostyFruits Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 This is also another option but I'd prefer the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex2 Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 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 FrostyFruits and Mikeam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have multiband radios or do you have 6 radios installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex2 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I run 3 APX 8500 all bands, 2 to multi antennas and one on the vhf Normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFruits Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex2 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yes to both. FrostyFruits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFruits Posted May 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 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. gortex2, wayoverthere and hfd376 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRQE264 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Can I ask what you use the sat for? The ocd in me is twitching because it’s not centered lol…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
