Maggie Mount

            The Maggie Mount is an antenna mount with a magnet in the base and a female SMA connector at the top. A coax cable exiting near the bottom with up to10 feet of cable connects to a transmitter or receiver.  A quarter wave whip antenna with an SMA connector (antenna with SMA connector not included) screws into the top.  This makes the Maggie Mount usable with any UHF frequency system. 

                       It is ideally suited to bring the transmitter antenna from the inside of a car to the outside for mounting the antenna to the hood, roof, trunk, or side of the car in an inconspicuous place. Or to move the antenna to a higher elevation or around a corner.   It is equally useful on a transmitter or receiver.  In addition, the surface the Maggie is mounted to is generally large compared to UHF wavelengths and therefore is an excellent ground plane giving the quarter wave whip antenna greater range.

            Using a female SMA connector at the top of the Maggie Mount allows any length quarter wave whip to be used; hence one Maggie is good for use with all your UHF systems.  It also stows more compactly. 

            The Maggie may be ordered with a male SMA on the cable or with a male BNC.  SMA’s are generally preferred for use with transmitters and many types of receivers.  BNC’s are generally used with receivers.  50 ohm RF connector adapters of the appropriate sex may be used to adapt to other antenna connectors.

            Maggie’s can also easily remote the antennas on the rear of rack mounted receivers to get the antenna outside of the metal rack. 

            The Maggie Mount magnet is powerful.  It can be used on a non magnetic surface, such as an aluminum or plastic car body, by placing a large steel washer underneath the surface where the Maggie is to be positioned.

            .            The cable is RG 174, 50 Ohm, for flexibility and ruggedness. And may be ordered with a stock cable length of 10 feet, 6 feet, or 3 feet and terminated with a male SMA or male BNC connector.
