My Jeeps mates all run GMRS radios. I have handheld radios but I'm going to do a hard mount radio. I'm struggling over antennas.
Here are the two options I'm looking at. Opinions?
1) Mount a 6 db gain 32" whip antenna on my passenger side taillight using a Teraflex mount. It would mirror my drivers side mount that has the CB antenna.
or
2) Remove one of the hood snubbers and use a 3/8" NMO mount cable with the existing hole and then use a 3 db gain 3.5" snubby antenna on the hood. The 3.5" could be removed and stored easily and a rain cap placed on the NMO mount where it would look just like a snubber.
Thoughts?
