Hello,

Where does everyone get their supplies?

I need a cheap but strong magnetic trunk/roof mount mobile base with a 259
on the coax and a 239 SO on the mount. I don't see a lot of them out there
and they seem pricey for what they are. It's been many years since I last
messed around so I likely don't know where to look (and don't want to wait
for a late March hamfest).

It wouldn't matter on one item, but I am going to be doing a number of
things in the future so this would be a good time to take a site out for a
test drive, so to speak. Better to try someone out for price vs. quality vs.
service/dependability now than on the bigger-bucks items.

Thanks for any suggestions

I have a couple of old CB antennas with the SO239 connectors if you
want them you can have them for shipping costs, but they are not
magnetic , they clip in the rain gutters.

Thanks... the mag mount is perfect for my needs, though.

Thanks to all for the input. I generally feel that eBay is no longer the
less expensive way to go, as a rule. It does appear, however, that this time
is the exception. I'll look again in a day or three and see if I missed
anything but it appears that the best deal is a Buy-It-Now.

Thanks again!
