No, not the title of a bad you tube video. Noob here, still contemplating how far down the GMRS rabbit hole I want to go. Next logical step, (to me, as I have HT radios currently) is a mobile unit. If I do it, well I will go all in and get a 50w unit.
Now for the tricky part. I have 7+ inches of clearance between my roof and garage door. Not much room for an antenna. Yet, isn’t that the best place to install your mobile antenna, the roof? But does the low clearance limit the quality of antenna? If so, is it better to go with another mounting surface to be able to put up a better antenna?
Just wanting to hear from you folks with experience. I would think this isn’t a unique to me problem.
