Where do you live? ie; What kind of terrain? Lots of repeaters around?
I too started with an HT many many years ago. I chose to hard mount the antenna to the vehicles I had at the time. "L" bracket in the trunk groove on the sedan, and in the roof of the pickup.
I've used several different brands and models, some better than others. That Tram gets decent reviews, and I know several hams using it, all of them happy with it. It's got a heafty wind load and deserves a good mount. The grounding provided by a permanent mount will improve the antenna performance. Somewhere in RR is a post from a fellow who went from magmount to NMO permanent, and solved noise problems as well as got improved coverage to his desired repeater.
I took a license class with a group of about 15 others. I was one of two who permanent mounted from the beginning. Of the 6 of us who stayed in touch, all but one had vehicle damage from mag mounts within a year. It varied from paint damage, to a dent created when the magmount got lose and bounced around before being dragged along next to the vehicle. Mount and antenna destroyed.
Welcome to the hobby.
