Have a cell phone antenna on top of the rig, but no idea of who makes it or anything about it. At least I think it is a cell phone antenna. It connects with a 1/8" threated stud opening. The coax connection on inside is a BNC connector. Was thinking I could connect my Wilson Sleek to this, or adapt it to a center loaded Wilson Cell phone antenna. But don't know about the 1/8" stud opening. The opening on my Wilson Sleek optional magnetic mount antenna is even smaller Anybody have any ideas what this antenna is for??? It measures 12 and 7/8" from the bottom to the tip. Includes the screw in base.

it looks like a dual band cell antenna to me. I had one just like it but removed it for my Ham antenna, VHF/UHF. It should work OK IF the BNC connector is what is needed for the Sleek. There are many adapters available if you need one. The problem is finding the one you need as few places stock them anymore.

The Wilson Sleek has a female SMA antenna connector. You can buy a BNC/SMA adapter here: http://www.amazon.com/HOD-SMA-870-SMA-BNC-Adapter/dp/B0048104T4
I was actually hoping to remove the top of the optional Sleek whip from the magnetic base and install it on the stud mount on the motorhome, but the stud is to big for the optional Sleek antenna. Would offer better gain and get me on top of the coach. Guess I will end up using the Sleek rubber ducky suction cup mount on the inside windshield and use the optional whip on the toad. And that two band VHF, well there is always the 2 meter band or a scanner.docj said:
