Perfect! Thank you, gentleman

I'm setting up a base station and am looking for someway to run vertical and horizontal LMR400 (diameter 0.405" which is roughly ~3/8" or 10mm). I can't find any cable clips this size, nor any hangers, etc... what do you use to attach LMR400 to both exterior vinyl siding and interior drywall? I hate those straight nail clips, though I might have to use them for the interior run...

I am currently running mine through the sun roof that I have completely closed. I tilted it open, ran the antenna, tilted it closed and haven't had any issues. Now, I am running the super thin coax that comes with Midland radio antennas that's included with the radio, so if you're using anything thicker you may get different results. I drive a 2003 Lexus GS300. I am upgrading to an after market Midland mag mount and I'll post my results. I may wind up mounting it on the trunk and across the trunk weather strip, then through one of the trunk wall grommets through which all the other trunk wires run. Kinda depends how much work you want to do. If I'm feeling really OCD I may just drill a hole through my trunk lid and mount a larger antenna.

Greetings! I'm located in Schaumburg, IL and just received my GMRS license! I got into kayaking recently and discovered if you're more than 50 feet away from the wife or kids, no one can hear each other. Arrive, three GRMS radios. So I placed one of my three handhelds on the kitchen table, went outside and my first broadcast was to my wife who she immediately reply transmitted, "You're a dork". Hopefully I'm in good company here...
