Low Profile Antenna With Great TX/RX
At just 17.25", this low profile antenna works great on my Jeep Renegade using a magnet mount. I chose this particular antenna because it was suggested to me by the great staff at American Radio Supply based on my requirements (low profile, little to no wind loading while driving down the interstate at 70+ MPH, dual band capable, and most importantly, able to handle high power from my radio. Although there is no gain for either band, I've had no trouble rag chewing up and down the interstate on NON-LOCAL repeaters.
