Okay, what I ended up getting was a Larsen... A 5.8 wave... I'm using
a diamond mag mount (pinched my fingers on that sucker... Good
magnet!) Had to get a SMA adapter... I told the guy to include it,
and he didn't... Good guys at HRO though... No shipping at least.
Fast delivery. Can't ask for more than that, really...

I look forward to giving it a test flight tomorrow. Thanks for the
information folks! It really helped.

Ah! Thanks a lot! Actually 2 Meters is really the ONLY one I'm
wanting to be using. I have a new Icom T90A, and just want a nice car
antenna for talking on 2 meters.


You want a mag-mount 5/8wave Larsen... it's a
nice 1/4wave on 6m, too. Get the Larsen mag
mount, too... your present mag-mount (probably
BNC, with a duck on it) is insufficient... BNC
connectors are not rated for outdoor exposure.
Just run the coax in the passenger side, via the
rear door's front edge, down the center post, and
under the rocker panel to the dash.
