Midland MXTA23 vs Midland MXTA27 Universal Lip Mount

These are different parts, not rivals. The MXTA23 is a bare bracket for a roll bar, mirror arm or roof rack, and it needs a separate NMO mount and cable to work. The MXTA27 is a complete lip mount with a 20 ft RG58U cable and adapters, made for a trunk lid or hood edge with no drilling. Buy the MXTA23 if you already have an NMO mount and cable and need to clamp to a tube. Buy the MXTA27 if you want a finished install on a flat panel edge.

• Choose the MXTA23 if you are mounting to a roll bar, mirror arm or roof rack tube and already own an NMO mount and coax.
• Choose the MXTA27 if you want a no-drill mount on a trunk lid or hood edge with the cable and adapters included.
