I setup my father’s hustler multi-band antenna with trunk mount. That’s a heavy antenna for window mount? The thick tube with quick-disconnect fitting on bottom and a plate on top for several band-dedicated tips with loading coils.

You need a good metal surface for ground plane effect. Window mount will not be very efficient and stationary only I presume. We had 15-20M ok on a mobile but much lower gets inefficient really fast.

I always had good results with Hustler/New-Tronics antennas both in the old CB Days (70's) and HF bands after that. The tuning is easy and nice bandwidth above 20 meters. I even used them on 75m. I however NEVER seen or heard of a "window mount" for those antennas. Please pictures or model number of this set-up.

Made in USA (y) :cool:



From their beginning in Cleveland, Ohio, Hustler Antennas have been produced in the U.S.A. for over 40 years. Since 1985 Hustler Antennas have been manufactured and marketed by New-Tronics Antenna Corporation in Mineral Wells, Texas, on the western edge of the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex.

Welcome!
Many here to help.
All the Best
