Midland MXATMT1 Bull Bar Antenna Mount vs Midland MXTA27 Universal Lip Mount
Both are Midland mounts, but they solve different problems. The MXATMT1 is a stainless steel clamp that bolts to a bull bar or tube up to 62 mm and holds the Ride the Range whip antennas; it is the sturdier choice for off-road and exposed builds. The MXTA27 is a no-drill lip mount with a built-in 20 ft RG58U cable and UHF-to-NMO adapter, so it suits hood or trunk edges on daily drivers. Owners of clamp mounts like the MXATMT1 praise the solid grip on rough ground; lip-mount users like the MXTA27 for quick install but note the cable routing and the need for a good ground.
- Choose the MXATMT1 if you have a bull bar or tube bumper and want a bolted stainless clamp for a Midland whip antenna.
- Choose the MXTA27 if you want a no-drill hood or trunk mount with the coax and adapters included for a MicroMobile radio.
