Default Triband Mobile Vertical

Hi all, i am installing a mobile radio into my car soon. I need an antenna
that will cover 2 metres, 70cm and uhfcb as the rig only has one antenna
socket. I would appreciate any information on how to make one antenna to
suite these 3 bands or maybe there is one available. I would prefer to build
one. Yes, i know I'm not supposed to be using a ham radio on UHFCB so don't
bother mentioning it.

Thanks.

Hi Gary,

The Comet CA-2x4SR almost makes it with 140-160/435-465 MHz @ less
than 1.5:1.

You could play around with a conical monopole, sort of like an upside
down discone. Nil-Jon used to sell one.
