The PNI PL-DV antenna connection adapter is a highly practical, professional-grade RF mounting accessory designed to bridge the gap between different antenna mounting standards. This heavy-duty adapter allows mobile radio operators, truck drivers, and off-road enthusiasts to easily mount CB and amateur radio antennas equipped with a traditional DV (wing nut / butterfly) joint onto existing standard PL (SO-239 threaded) supports. By offering a seamless mechanical and electrical translation, this adapter eliminates the need to completely replace your vehicle’s existing cable assembly or magnetic base, saving you both time and installation expenses.
Constructed from premium, high-strength treated steel and finished with a durable, weather-resistant black protective coating, the PL-DV adapter is engineered to withstand highway wind resistance, branches, and harsh outdoor elements. It features broad system compatibility: it is perfectly suited for use with the PNI T941 trunk-lid mounting bracket, or it can be paired with the PNI T601 cable assembly to feed threaded base designs. To ensure a painless installation out of the box, the adapter includes a heavy-duty butterfly wing nut screw to tightly lock the antenna tilt angle, alongside a dedicated hexagonal Allen wrench to securely tighten and lock the adapter itself onto your vehicle’s antenna bracket.
