Antenna features non-staining rubber cushion
Antenex’s TMGPS trunk-mount antenna combines GPS and mobile communications in a system that provides the user with two-way communications capabilities and a GPS receiver. The Micro GPSx receiver is a durable antenna with 27dB active reception, allowing the user to pinpoint his location using the GPS system. By combining the antenna with an industry-standard NMO mount, the system can be used for a variety of two-way communications scenarios. A non-staining neoprene rubber cushion under the mount ensures that it will not stick to or stain a vehicle’s finish. This cushion also isolates the mount against vibration, providing a firm and lasting fit to the trunk lid. Made of type 302 stainless steel, the bracket features a design that enables it to be mounted to most new high-tolerance trunk lid seams. The mount features a low-profile design and may be easily removed.
