Customer Questions
Does this antenna utilize the Shakespeare "Quickconnect" base or do you need to install the cable?
This is not compatible with the QuickConnect base. Only the Shakespeare QuickConnect antennas are compatible with the QuickConnect bases. The antenna will come with 20" of cabling already installed to the antenna that would just feed through the mount...
