Looking primarily for the highest gain on both bands. Mounting and
size (length) are not important, i.e. can be anything. Any suggestions?

My old Comet 2x4max is hard to beat.

Looking for the very best 2M/440 dual-band mobile antenna made.
Looking primarily for the highest gain on both bands. Mounting and
size (length) are not important, i.e. can be anything. Any suggestions?

Or possibly a Cushcraft A27010S?

Hmmm ... that's a beam, right?

Probably not easy to use mobile (portable, maybe).

Right. 5 elements on 2 meters, 5 on 440.

True... but the original posting made a point of asking for maximum
gain, and said that type and mounting weren't important. Nothing was
said about "omnidirectional" one way or the other. (##grin##)

I wouldn't by any Cushcraft antennas produced since Joe left. They
don't have the same reasons behind their designs anymore. Like quality.
