Quad band mag mount

I am awaiting the arrival of the Opek HVU200 quad band mobile antenna I ordered last week and am trying to get everything else in place for the install. I have decided on a mag mount for now due to the fact that I will eventually move the FT-8900 from my Jeep to my truck. So my question is this: where can I find a three mag or preferably quad magnet mount (greatest amount of capacitive coupling) with a PL259 fitting for the Opek antenna?

I am also somewhat confused about the antenna connection. The specs on their website say PL259 connector, but does that mean that it screws onto a SO239 female coax terminator, or that a PL259 coax fitting screws onto a SO239 receiver fitting which is on the antenna? Perhaps someone could also chime in on this as well.

I ordered the antenna on the 24th but it still hasn't arrived nor has my account been charged. I'm worried that I may not get it in time for a trip to Canada on the 17th. I hope that I ordered the proper mounting for it.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
