I hate to be the guy to ask of you to pick something out for me, but with something as complex (complex for a new guy) as antennas, I would like to hear from the professionals out there. (Rather than self educate for days for knowledge I will only use occasionally)
Ok enough nonsense.
I have a BC125AT in my truck, and I want to find an external antenna to mount on the truck for the best possible reception. (also in mind of possibly getting a non-portable scanner in the truck in the future).
I am opposed to drilling holes in the roof, but I do have a truck box and bed rails that I could sacrifice. I've read that the truck box is less than ideal for antenna mounting, but i'm not really sure why. It is grounded to the frame (via nice ground wire) if that makes any difference. I currently have a 4' CB antenna mounted there, but that could be subject to change based on your responses. Thanks guys
