MFJ Trailer Hitch Antenna Mounts slide into your 2-in. trailer hitch slot. Your trailer hitch mount can hold small, medium and large HF/VHF/UHF antennas… you may even mount HF screwdriver antennas.

These antenna mounts employ heavy-duty aluminum construction. The same pin used for the towing bar may be used to hold the MFJ-2822 in place. They have 3/8-24 threaded Gum-Drop connector for HF or larger VHF antennas. Dimensions for the mount are 2W x 2H x 10-1/4D.

These mounts will have some play inside the receiver-hitch opening. This is normal as the hitch is designed to easily accept towing bar changes. Connecting a ground strap (user supplied) with a quick connect to the MFJ-2822 is recommended as the hitch does not supply the antenna with a secure ground connection.

If you need a mount that removes height restrictions (trees, garage doors, etc.) by mounting your antenna at the lowest possible point on your truck, SUV or sedan, then think about one of these MFJ Trailer Hitch Antenna Mounts
