I'm looking at getting a mag mount dual band antenna for my wouxun. Was wondering if anyone out there knew of some good antennas to use, or have had experience with. Thanks to anyone that can help

If the antenna is properly tuned, why wouldn't it work on your Wouxun, or Kenwood, or Icon, or Yaesu, or whatever? You'd probably need an adaptor for that SMA antenna on the Wouxun, but that's just not that difficult to find.

What bands? Diamond do a nice 2m/70cm mag mount at a reasonable prive that works well with my Yaesu VX-2. I neede a BNC to SMA adapter too.

Which two bands, they make 144/220 and 144/450? Assuming you're asking about the more common 144/450 version, check out the Larsen NMO 2/70 series. There are several that allow you to select a few height/gain combinations so you can get one that works best for you. The SH version is only 19" tall with minimal gain numbers, and the B (open coil) and C (enclosed coil) are a bit over 30" and give you more gain. I have both the B and C versions and they work well for me.
