Drillable Antenna Base

Almost all vehicles in our country have a car radio. If you like to listen to the radio while driving, you will be familiar with a particularly annoying problem, namely the lack of reception. This can ruin your enjoyment of music. In many cases, this is caused by the car radio's antenna. In this case, you need to choose a car aerial that can withstand changing weather conditions and provide good reception over a long period of time. Car antennas provide reception of AM and FM radio broadcasts. Read more...

The principle of operation of this type of antenna is based on the transmission of electromagnetic waves. In addition, the antenna amplifier integrated in the car antenna ensures that the signal level is increased and thus radio reception is improved. Models installed in modern vehicles can also improve reception from mobile phones and can be used for GPS reception in navigation systems.

What type of antenna fits in the drillable antenna base?

This type of antenna mount is used to mount car antennas, which require a hole to be drilled in the roof of the car or in the boot lid to fix the antenna and pull in the cable.

How to choose the right drillable antenna base?

The type of mounting depends on the antenna connector. You can attach PL or DV antennas with a base mount. The abbreviation DV stands for tilting antennas, which are fitted with a wing screw to allow tilting.

What is the advantage of a drillable antenna base over traditional mounting methods?

You can fix your car antenna by gluing it. These are used when you do not want to install a long antenna pole on the roof of your car. One of the most common versions is the shark fin antenna. This type of antenna is usually no more than 10 centimetres high. Their main advantage is their attractive optical design and particularly streamlined shape. Alternatively, you can choose to use a magnetically attached antenna. In this case, as the name implies, the structure can be mounted on the roof of the car by means of a magnetic base.

In this case, it is important to take into account the weight and size of the antenna, and the diameter of the base. But this solution has a big disadvantage, namely that the magnet does not stick to plastic, fibreglass and aluminium surfaces. Therefore, we cannot fit the magnetic version on body panels made of such materials. For these surfaces, a retractable antenna base is the perfect solution, and telescopic antennas are also available.

What materials are quality drillable antenna base made of and what weather conditions are they designed for?

The interior of this type of car antenna box is made of durable stainless steel and the exterior is made of high-strength plastic. Both can effectively withstand the weather conditions on our continent.

Do you need professional help to install a drillable antenna base or can you easily do it at home?

We can fix a retractable antenna dish ourselves, if we have some manual skills. But it is better to leave this type of installation to a professional. If you do it yourself, you will need a wrench and about 10-15 minutes. To replace the base, you need to dismantle the antenna. Experts recommend that you take care of the O-ring when installing the antenna, as it is responsible for waterproofing.

What are the most important features to look out for when choosing an drillable antenna base?

With car antennas, it is important to consider the material of the antenna. You can choose an antenna with a steel or fibreglass cover. But this type of mounting has one big advantage, and that is that if you park the car, the antenna can be easily unscrewed and put in the boot. Therefore, thieves cannot remove this type of antenna from your car, thanks to the retractable base. If you are not satisfied with the reception, you have no choice but to unscrew the antenna in the retractable base and replace it with a stronger one.

But in this case we have to pay attention to the thread diameter. Because manufacturers often advertise their car antennas as universal and offer them with various types of retractable antenna bases. So, to be on the safe side, you should measure the ride diameter of the base you have previously fitted to your vehicle before you buy.
