Ratchet Mounts
Featuring a four‑way ratchet design that lets you easily adjust and lower the antenna to help clear low bridges or overhead obstacles. Available in solid nylon or stainless steel, many models include a cable‑slot to avoid removing factory connectors. Options range from standard models to heavy‑duty and fine‑adjustment versions for added strength and precision.
