Browning BR-1024-UHFE

The Browning BR-1024-UHF is an adjustable NMO trunk mount for mobile radio antennas, not an antenna itself. It is designed to securely attach an NMO-style antenna to a vehicle’s trunk or other surface up to 3/8-inch thick.

User Reviews and Expert Opinions
Sturdiness: Reviewers generally find the mount to be sturdy and well-made, holding up well over time.
Ease of Use: It is considered easy to install and a good value for the price.
Versatility: The adjustable nature is a major benefit, allowing it to level out antennas on various vehicle types. The included FME adapter also provides installation flexibility.
Considerations: One review notes the absence of a rubber gasket for sealing the mount and antenna, which might be a potential issue depending on the specific antenna used and installation environment. It is also noted that the mount itself does not determine the frequency range or gain; those specifications depend entirely on the NMO antenna screwed into it.
