Default Help with Antenna

i know the through-glass antenna suck balls, but i did not want to install a
huge whip.

i have a 2006 tacoma with tonneau cover. i would do a hard mount on my roof
as long as the antenna was one of those thin stainless types. any
suggestions (model / part #'s)?

thanks

i know i know. the factory one is a dual band 10" antenna (cb and noaa).
i'm looking for the ~27MHz cb band antenna that is approx 12-18" long. this
would have better gain than what i have now, but obviously not like a 1/4
or 1/2 wave antenna.

any suggestions on through-glass mini "loaded" cb antenna.

anyone suggest one?


High gain generally relates to large size.

"Rubber Ducky" antennas are low gain compromises.

There is no such animal as "High Gain Rubber Ducky" [pun intended]
