That's a 3/8-24 thread mount but you will have to show a better picture of the connector sticking out the side, if that's even a connector. Most of those mounts take coax directly where you unscrew a cap on the back to solder the center conductor then the braid crimps with a ferrule on the thing that sticks out the side. If its a connector it might be a mini UHF but I can't tell from your picture.

looking at the pic above ..... the threaded part top left is where the coax connects. Center top of pic is an open area that has the solid copper lead soldered.

Still can't tell without an end view of the connector but I believe its a mini UHF. Here is a picture of a male and female mini UHF.

Be very very very very. Very very very careful tightening your antenna to that mount. It is a great mount but it's also very fragile.

Top is a CB antenna mount, bottom is an SMC coax mount. Inside it is a fragile copper wire that will get turned and broken if you crank down on the antenna.

The best way to tighten it is to gently tighten down the antenna till you feel resistance and then stop. Further tightening requires you to turn the big knurled know below the antenna.



Did I mention be very very gentle in cranking down on the antenna?
