Does anyone know if the third brake light antenna mount has good ground? I am trying to get the ATAS antenna from Yaesu installed next and wondering if that location will be reasonably as good as a roof mount NMO for HF with the ATAS.

All links are in the Youtube description if that helps:

That is a good question about the display. I do park it outside most of the time. It only gets direct sun on the dash where I park about 3 hours a day, so at least it isn't full-on sun. I will report back if it becomes an issue. Yes, it was nice that it was close to the battery. I didn't expect...

Got it! Perfect. Thanks for the pics and taking the time to show me. I will update the connection in the Maverick.

Where exactly is the 12 volt battery BMS at? Is it that box on the negative cable or underhood? Thanks.

This antenna mount worked for me.

Carlitos, that is good to know. Maybe someone with some experience with the Hybrid will jump in and advise me. I saw some other videos where this was done with a temporary inverter hookup with alligator clips, but I was wondering why most others were running power from under the hood. I will...

I recently installed a new Yaesu FTM 500 in my Ford Maverick 2023 Hybrid. I didn't want to deal with drilling a hole in the roof, so I used the Bullet Proof Diesel 3rd Brake Light DUAL antenna mount, and it came out nice. I have added the link to the step-by-step YouTube video with all the...
