Good afternoon, I work as a mechanic for a relatively small fleet (25). I have been using the Laird 1/4 wave antenna with a spring on almost all of our equipment. I have to install a radio on a new F-250, and they do not want the antenna through the roof on this truck. It does have a standard Backrack, so I was thinking about mounting it there. I have never attempted this, so I was wondering if the performance would be acceptable from a Backrack mounted antenna (ground plane). I only know the basics about radios, so that's why I'm here. Thank you in advance. The radio going in is likely going to be a 40W CM300 or a PM400, on VHF around 151 Mhz
