I bought one at the last Dayton (aka Xenia) hamfest because my new suv was too tall to go in the garage with even the shortest conventional whip. After a check for swr, I started using it with a mag mount. I know there are all kinds of stories about mag mounts, but since having a trunk mount torn off in the car wash I decided to try a different approach. Running 15 watts on 2 meters, I have a usable 25 mile range in the mobile.
