Amateur radio antenna mount

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

As others have suggested, some kind of antenna mounting option would be great. Doesn't have to be super fancy. Just the option of putting an antenna somewhere. I prefer NMO mounts and simple ones like this work fine:

But I'm sure you can do better! I plan on installing a 2m/70cm ham radio shortly after I receive the Traveler, so a factory option would be awesome!

Thanks,
Mike

The mount is not the hard part. A route for the coax would be needed. Then where do they route it to? Under the seat for a remote head radio? Probably the best option. Maybe the Frunk? That could be sweet.

The Prius has a super slick little area above the spare tire in the cabin. I added a plate and filled mine with all the batteries/heads/tuner/computers (for data modes). Frunk would also probably be a pretty easy addition and would be long, but not impossible, to route to from the tire carrier.
