If you're serious about decent peformance, stay away from glass
mount antennas for anything other than receive-only. They're worse than
useless for transmitting.
I think you better stick to the paintings. Anecdotal evidence is worse than
no evidence. Just because one manufacturer's antenna was junk doesn't mean
I'm sorry you feel that way.
You know nothing about me, nor my work environment, nor how MANY
undercover cars have had issues with glass mounts.
This didn't just happen on one vehicle. It was on several. And my
own personal experience with glass mounts (yes, I tried using them at
one time myself) was terrible.
The big problem with glass mounts is their lack of a decent ground
plane. They spew RF all over the interior of the vehicle they're being
used on, hence the interference that I and others have experienced.
Perhaps you're the one who had best stick to "painting."
