Temporarily removing magnet on mag mount ?

yellow1 · 07-13-2002

Is that at all possible ? It could be handy if you're going to be putting the antenna nearby a laptop in a backpack for instance ?

yeh Iwas thinking the same thing, would be cool if there was one of those bnc connectors at the base of the antenna, and if you could remove the magnet, it would be handy to attach a 2'-3' cable, so I can discretely use the setup at the coffe shop : ( but uhh ya know, im just lazy I suppose, I could do it myself, but im just so damn lazy, and plus its cool to bitch and see if business (fab-corp cough cough) catches on, or just thinks im dumb and shoots me in the face, either way... siiiik!

LOL - Sorry for the delay in the response. There is another version of the antenna that is designed for a NMO mount, but no way to actually remove the antenna from the magnet that I am aware of. It is a good idea though..... just don't know how easy or difficult it would be to put into place... I mean it already takes over a month to get product from the factory to here, imigine having to re-design it?!

How would removing the magnet help? It's already smaller than the ground plane and it acts as a base or weight to hold the antenna upright - of course if what you're worried about is the magnetic field then it might make sense - and so would a blade antenna (from Fabcorp of course

) stuck on the back of the LCD
