Diamond Antenna K412S Medium-duty Trunk Lip Mount with UHF Female (SO-239) Base

K412S Medium-Duty Trunk Lip Mount

The K412S is a medium-duty trunk lip mount designed for amateur radio antennas, offering a versatile and secure mounting solution, particularly for situations with limited space.

Key Features

• Mount Type: Medium-duty trunk lip mount. This means it clamps onto the edge of a vehicle's trunk lid (or hood, or hatchback), without requiring any drilling into the vehicle body.
• Antenna Weight Compatibility: Suitable for medium weight antennas.
• Adjustability: Features a three-axis adjustment. This crucial feature allows the user to precisely orient the antenna vertically, even if the mounting surface (like a hatchback) is sloped.
• Fold-over Capability: Includes a wing nut fold-over mechanism. This allows the antenna to be quickly and easily folded down (e.g., for garage clearance, car washes, or transporting the vehicle). The wing nut provides a tool-less way to secure it in the upright or folded position.
• Connector Type (Base): UHF Female base, this refers to the connector type on the mount itself, where the antenna screws in. UHF Female (SO-239) is a very common connector for amateur radio mobile antennas (often referred to as UHF Male or PL-259 on the antenna side).
• Connector Type (Cable End): Small SMA connector included to help with routing through tight spaces within your vehicle. An adapter is included to connect it to your SO-239-equipped mobile transceiver - or ditch the adapter and use it with your HT.

The K412S is a flexible and convenient mounting option for amateur radio operators looking for a non-invasive installation on a vehicle, especially when using medium-weight antennas and radios that require an SMA connection.
