The combo package is a great value , I was concerned about the nylon mount, but it also is high quality. The instructions are easy to understand. You do have to do some soldering,but it's easy. The only thing I needed was (4) bolts for nylon mounting bracket.

Comments about Cobra MR F45-D Class D VHF Radio Package With 8' Antenna And Mount:
This is a good package price, but the antenna base is a plastic thread so be careful my threads keep backing out so i tapped a screw though the base to keep it there. The plastic mount is very weak looking i think im getting a stainless steel mount, but the radio is great very clear and huge range..

Q:
I would like to purchase a 4' or 3' antenna rather than a 8' antenna with this package. I have a center console and I had rather mount a shorter antenna on the side of the console or the hand rail because this way I could fold it away easier than on the side.Asked on 2/20/2012 by Jay1 answer

Have you looked into a 2-peace fold down? I know they make them. I had one on a 24 ft. Pro Line walk around.Answered on 5/5/2012 by Capn Joe from TN
