hmmm...just saw this post come back. Have not installed the NMO yet. It is still riding around in the console. I lost my mag mount a couple of weeks ago and now have a 2 meter 1/4 wave whip on the fender mount. The mag mount was a cheap one and it corroded pretty badly and would come loose at the base. When I tried to tighten it, it broke away from the base and now there is no way to keep it tight.

The fender mount works pretty good, but I did get a report of alternater whine (I am asssuming because of the proximity to the engine compartment).

I am still going to install the NMO, but am waiting for spring and warmer weather. I am also very busy with work and trying to get the ham shack finished here at the house.
