Hello all,

My buddy has an existing CB radio already hard-wired to his Jeep. He is switching his CB out for a GMRS and we were looking for an adapter or method to convert his existing 3/8 24" CB Mount to NMO.

Is there an adapter for this, etc?

If he is ok with running new coax you can get nmo coax with a 3/8" center stud as long as the antenna mount has a wide enough base for the NMO to clamp around.
That's what we were trying to avoid. Midland Radios told us that we can use his existing coax that si already wired to his CB (just change the adapter at the radio end) but how we convert the antenna end of the cable to fit NMO is the challenge.

We were looking at this video but I can't find anyone else that has done this:


But if what that guy does in the video works, then I guess it's what we will do. I was hoping for some sort of conversion adapter though...
