Alot of the open coil antennas are good also. Folow M-Tech's advice on
keeping the loading coil and as much of the antenna as possible above the
roof.

| Hi
| I received a lot of help the last time I
looked
| for advice on this newsgroup, so I thought I would hit you up for some
more.
|
|
| Someone has stolen my antenna. I had a Wilson 5000 mag
mountand
| I don't wont to replace it with another mag mount.
|
|
First
| let me tell you what I have. I have a Cobra 29 LTD and a Palomar Elite 300
amp.
| ( I have already took some hits for what I have but for now that's what I
got.
| IM hoping to upgrade the first of the year.)This is in a 1999 chevy pick
up. I
| do have a place to mount an antenna on the tool box or the light bar
around the
| back of the cab. I was Looking at the Wilson 5000 and the 1000 trucker
along
| with the K-40 trucker. The setup I had before worked real good for what
it was
| but now that I have to replace the antenna and I would like get the best
one I
| can. I might be moving up to a Ranger or a Galaxy the first of the year so
what
| ever I get I would like it to work with a new radio. Any input or coments
would
| be great. I have a blank check from the shop where it was at when it was
stolen
| and i would like to get a new one this weekend.
| Thanks Roch
