I'm wanting to keep peace within the family.. NO! Extra antennas on the
vehicle..
I want to install a dual band 2m/440 mobile using the AM/FM antenna that
is
on the vehicle.. It will be mostly used for receive, BUT....
Other than a duplexer and tuner (s) What is needed to STOP the RF from
damaging the AM/FM radio in case I want to transmit?...
Any help on this??


You may do as I did on my new car.
I did not fancy drilling hole in my new car and decided to go for the
MFJ-1734 (a glassfix dualband antenna).
It is 26 inches and handles 50W.
I run it together with my Icom IC-2725E (IC-2720H) and it works very well.

Good luck!
