It is a common antenna mount used in the trucking industry which often use this mount for CB whip antennas. It has been accepted by the ham radio manufacturers in some parts of the world like here in North America. PL is still the most commonly used for amateur radio, followed by the NMO mount (common on commercial and emergency service vehicle antennas), and then the 3/8'x24 thread mounts.
@@mfjenterprisesinc.-canalei1250 Some antennas come with a 38x24 connector. Why? It's an old standard that may go back many decades. It's mostly used for CB-style antennas, like Ham Sticks, but it has other uses too.
Jaw mount works great at campsites with a metal freeze proof water faucet coming out of the ground, or a metal pedestal grill.
tri-mag with them ham sticks are so good .. need to order the other bands come tax time

Is there a 3/8x24 accessory to stop the autofocus from refocusing every few seconds?
I wish! I know it's annoying. Not sure what it was trying to focus on.

The spike needs to be wooden to kill a vampire.
I'll suggest a change of materials to Chameleon. ;-)
What does mean 3/8-24?
As it says in the video 3/8-inch diameter, 24 threads per inch.
3/8" diameter, 24 threads per inch. This is known as a "fine" thread
@@genebalinski645 Isn't that what I wrote? LOL 🙂
