Hello I am new to the forums I have been looking for a good BB for my new hobby of Ham Radios. I have wanted to get my license for about 12 years now and just have not done it. I am going to be joining my local CERT and I am a believer in disaster preparedness so both vehicles will be set up identical for parts interchange as well as ease of use.
What I am looking for help on is which NMO mount everyone likes the most. I am also looking for opinions on antennas for dual band 2 meter and 440, I do not want either vehicle to look like a radio tower so the smaller antennas are more appealing to me. I also need to find out if there are anyone on here that have installed an external antenna for a Verizon cell card (has the ant. jack for it) Would I be looking for problems having the 2 on the same roof of the van (truck will not have the VZ ant.)
On the Ram I plan to have the NMO dead center of the roof and on the van a little rear of center as I have the sunroof. I was thinking of the cell antenna rear of that as it is smaller I believe.
Any suggestions are welcome and thank you ahead of time for everyone time and assistance.
