Do you get any interference or static with this mount and location. I have the same mount using a Ghost antenna and I get static over the radio when I have my left blinker on. The wire for the blinker I guess runs near there, but I've tried routing the antenna wire 3 different ways and still get static when the left flasher is on. Otherwise radio works fine, but it's annoying
No static or other interference that I have noticed....I run an Icom 5100 and both bands seem fine.

Same here. I also have a ID-5100A with a Larsen NMO2/70B on a Diamond K400SNMO lip mount attached to drivers side hood. I get good transmission. SWR measured at 1.2-1.5.
