I recently purchased a Motorola Syntor 7000x in low band. All of the area departments use low band dispatch (to avoid narrow-banding requirements and the cost of placing pagers) and operate on a trunked system(s). The Syntor is programmed is a both low end (33.00 mhz) and high end (46.00 mhz) low band frequencies.
Problem is I cannot put a standard low band antenna on my truck (tahoe) because I park in a parking garage everyday for work. Even if I make a hood mount (similar to the am/fm antenna) I still will not have enough clearance.
The solution I would like to try is a glass mount antenna, just mounted a bit lower on the rear quarter panel window (I figure I only have about 5 inches clearance above my roof). However I have been not been able to find a low band glass mount.
I have found a midland glass mount CB antenna, and also a 2M glass mount. Does anyone have any suggestion as to which would be better, or another idea all together. I will NOT be transmitting from the radio.
Thanks
