No. The PCTEL BG is the magnetic base and cable assembly only. You must purchase a compatible 1-1/8"-18 thread antenna separately to complete the system. Will the magnet scratch my vehicle's paint? The PCTEL BG features a protective coating, but it is recommended to ensure the vehicle surface is clean and dry before mounting to prevent debris from causing scratches. Can I use this mount for a 700/800 MHz antenna? Yes. The mount is rated up to 512 MHz, but it is physically compatible with most standard mobile antennas. For 700/800 MHz applications, signal loss may increase depending on the specific antenna used. Warranty 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
