Hi all
I've got an Antenna Specialists MONR51 mag mount antenna. Bought it at least ten years ago. Finally retired it last summer when the mag mount was so deteriorated it couldn't hold at highway speeds.
I have the instruction sheet that came with the unit ... any sense in tracking down a replacement mag mount ... or should I just replace it?
Some questions for the techies:
- as the mag base fractured, wouldn't that cause a reduction in contact to my car's roof?
- would that contribute to decreases in sensitivity?
- does the ball at the tip play a role in the antenna's ability to receive, or is it a protective device?
- is there a downside to leaving the antenna mounted year around, subject to Boston, MA's weather?
Thanks!
