      Comments about Cobra MR F45-D Class D VHF Radio Package With 8' Antenna And Mount:

      This is a good package price, but the antenna base is a plastic thread so be careful my threads keep backing out so i tapped a screw though the base to keep it there. The plastic mount is very weak looking i think im getting a stainless steel mount, but the radio is great very clear and huge range..

              • Q:

                I would like to purchase a 4' or 3' antenna rather than a 8' antenna with this package. I have a center console and I had rather mount a shorter antenna on the side of the console or the hand rail because this way I could fold it away easier than on the side.
