Jeff is right... while the whip is a great antenna... if not mounted on the center of the vehicle... it will be very directional towards the front of the vehicle if mounted in the rear. Frankly, the whip is a bit impractical from several standpoints. When balancing practicality and performance... I always opted for a somewhat shorter antenna (Wilson 1000) magneted to the center of the roof. This provides an excellent radiation pattern and doesn't hit every tree, bridge, and lighting fixure... LOL Professor www.telstar-electronics.com But the whip makes such a nice "BONGGGG" when you hit the right object. ;-) That being said, I think the Wilson is the better choice. If he's driving a Plymouth he'll probably have the same problem I had with my '68 Dodge Coronet. Thin top "skin". I'd worry about that whip ripping right out. Jeff Great price but if you don't use the center of the roof you will be highly directional. Why not put the hole in a less obtrusive place like the top rather than the highly visable side of the vehicle? Everything will be easier if you use the roof mount. Tuning, etc. |
