New Sirio 5000 performer

[seedkey]

Hi,

I just bought a Sirio performer 5000. Didn't come with a mount

Any of you guys know what mount I should use for roof top mounting? no magnets.

Thanks in advance

Sirio should have a roof mount for it .

 

[seedkey]

If you have the most common version that requires an SO-239 mount...

Here is an Amazon link to the mount by it self.

... or not, the forum is trying to insert an amazon link as a media file??? Odd.

Anyway, as it shows in the link above, the model number is SG/AC-U SO-239, search for that and you should find it.

Some companies on the ham radio side make SO-239 mounts as well, such as this trunk mount from Diamond.

If you get a trunk mount you should make sure you get a heavy duty version.

In a pinch the Wilson mounts for the 1000/5000 series antennas should work as well as those antennas have the same type of plug.

If you have the version that has the standard 3/8 in stud, there are many more options available.

I used a comet or diamond flavor (can't remember) when I mounted mine. Might want to consider a washer or saw blade underneath for backing support.

I have that antenna on two of my vehicles with the mag. Thinking about drilling the hole on one of them. I have been looking at this one:

I think it is the correct mount, but it looks like it is missing something?

After flinging a particularly stubborn Wilson across the yard, I just put mine on the Wilson 1000/5000 magnet. it was located on top of the truck, never came off.

Permanent roof mount? I used a Breedlove.

I use the Sirio P5000 mag mount on the roof of my truck and works well. Better than the Wilson 1000 I had there.
