[Antennas] Mercedes VHF/UHF options

[Chris Boone]

I was not sure if the original poster was looking for a CB antenna or
his interest was in amateur radio...
the Glass mounts are only good at 144MHz and above....at anything lower
than 100 Mhz, the plate needs to be 4 times larger than they
are.....smaller plate means less coupling and efficiency.
Forget them..
Plenty of trunk lip mounts with quick disconnect...at least in the
amateur VHF bands...now was his question about a CB antenna? If so, he
is SOL as to "invisible" antennas.
