    D5 UHF Antenna Mounting

    Looking for a UHF Antenna mounting bracket for my UHF antenna on a new 2018 D5.
    had my D4 bracket mounted off the left front hood, but apparently they can’t do this with the D5.

    Not keen on a glass mount unit. My 2018 D5 has the dynamic pack, so has the black honey comb grille with no slots to feed a bracket thru the grille, so that’s out too.

    any ideas please or pictures.

    thanks

    Haven’t got roof rails on this one, hopefully now that we are vanning now, rather than camping was not going to bother with roof racks, have a couple of GME hand helds, but was hoping something more permanent and a longer range than the hand helds give you.

    thanks guys

    Don’t have roof rails. Ok.
    Do they still have the similar set up though - blanking rail with mounting points?

    Will have to get up and have a captain cook, do they have a easily detachable antenna system
    if I mounted on the roof Tombie? As I would have a few height issues if a antenna was roof mounted.

    cheers

    You could use a lay over mount base, bolt to the roof rail mount. Around town use a 1/4 wave whip and fit a larger unit for our of town.

    Modify something like a Benelec gutter mount, bolt through it to the rail mount and then fit the antenna you wish to run.
