I have a F150 and don't mind mounting the antenna on the roof.(cutting a hole in the roof to mount a base of some sort) I rather have somehing more perminate than the cheapy magnetic type ones you see on the bay.
I searched for mounts but came up with really nothing... The closest I have seen was sma panel mount connectors. I'm not to sure how they would fair in weather thou.

Well I guess I should ask if it would work with a panel mount type connector on the roof with the HGA7S antenna. Then use a 5-6 foot cable to the pci card.

Thanks for any info...

You can also buy good quality magnetic mount antennas (real handy for those of us that wardrive with more than one vehicle).

PS

I think that POS HGA7S is intended for indoor use only.
