- Does the SBB-5NMO include a mount?
- No. It is an NMO-mount antenna only, so you need an NMO base, coax and a vehicle mount separately.
- What bands does it cover?
- It is a dual-band antenna for 144 MHz (2m) and 440 MHz (70cm). It is not a CB antenna despite some listings grouping it that way.
- How much power can it handle?
- Comet rates it at 200 W, which covers typical mobile transceivers with headroom.
- Is 38 inches too tall for a car?
- It is fine on a roof or trunk lip for normal driving, but check clearance in low garages and drive-throughs before installing.
- How does it compare with a 1/4-wave NMO whip?
- The half-wave 2m design gives more gain and does not depend as much on ground plane, at the cost of extra height.
