Re: [AFMUG] NBE wallmount kit?
The mount has two screws of its own, but the actual radio is still held by the single screw down the center, so yes.

Is the mount still held entirely by the screw down the center, and all the WMK does is keep it from rotating?

I've done it both ways, the wall mount kit does make me feel a bit better about it not rotating.

Re: [AFMUG] NBE wallmount kit?
I've been happy with the single bolt. I've been using 4" TimberLOK bolts on the NBE-M5-16. I've used 1/4 x 4" Lag bolts with washers for the NBE-M5-19. I haven't found a bolt I like for both yet (The ID of the hole on the 16 dBi unit is larger than the 19 dBi unit, so the TimberLOK only fits the smaller one). I originally ordered the wallmount kit, and found it really didn't seem necessary. -Chris On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 11:16 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: > Has anyone been mounting NBE-5-16/19 "Skittles" directly to walls?

[AFMUG] NBE wallmount kit?
Has anyone been mounting NBE-5-16/19 "Skittles" directly to walls? Either with a single long screw as described in the instructions, or with the wallmount kit NBE-WMK? Some of our distributors carry the WMK but not our local one. Do either of these methods work well? The single screw seems dubious to me. I haven't seen a WMK to evaluate. Is everyone just putting them on something like a J-pipe? Seems a bit like overkill.
