[Mobile-Portable] HF mobile in a Trailblazer?

[Scott Townley]

Every individual vehicle is potentially different, BUT...
My company has a fleet of Trailblazers.  I have a full HF mobile install on 
my F-150.  I have pulled up next to just about all the vehicles in the 
fleet, putting my antenna near the drivers' side rear quarter with their 
engines running and my FT-100 NB off.  Absolutely stone cold quiet.  I 
think that's my next vehicle (as the F-150 is beyond horrid!)
