I'm about to take the plunge on a 436, but I'm curious if anyone has a suggestion on the best way to mount it in my truck when on the road. Thoughts?
They are built like a tank. Pictures are deceiving. Your location suggest you might be able to find a marine supply store close by. They are popular on boats for mounting all kinds of electronics. Bounding across the waves the ram mount will likely be the last thing to brake.Wow, pretty pricey. Is it really worth the cost?
Very true. Getting a chance to see any of them firsthand before buying is always a plus, so thanks for that tip on where to find them. Certainly costlier than I anticipated, but it is what it is. Glad I now have a good starting point and a few different ones to compare.They are built like a tank. Pictures are deceiving.

Absolutely. The system is modular--you buy the pieces you need for a particular application. For example, to mount to your windshield, you'd get the finger grip, a double-socket arm, the suction cup base, and the 2x1.7" ball base. The ball base attaches to the back of the finger grip, and the arm connects between the ball base and the suction cup.Wow, pretty pricey. Is it really worth the cost?
Diamond RH77CA. Works great on VHF and UHF 400-500MHz and 700-800MHz. It's one of the better all-around portable antennas.Thanks all. Slightly off topic now, I've read a few times about replacing the stock antenna. Any reasonably priced replacements any of you recommend?
