[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 5449305, member: 555251"] The lip mount is the best option out of those listed if you don't want to go through-roof. Mag mounts have several problems; they tend to scratch your roof and collect moisture, given enough time, the cable gets pinched going through the window, and at CB frequencies, the mag mount doesn't provide as much of a ground plane as it does at VHF or higher frequencies. The lookalike cell phone antennas might let you hear someone who's right next to you, beyond that, who knows [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] I'd look here to find a mount that would work: [URL="http://rffun.com/catalog/hamantm/diamx.html"]http://rffun.com/catalog/hamantm/diamx.html[/URL] For an antenna, get the largest you think you can live with...it's an axiom that the best antennas are usually the ugliest and most obtrusive ones [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
