I am looking at purchasing a mobile antenna to use for my GMRS HT in my truck. Mobile radio will come later. I don't want to drill thru my roof so that's not an option. That leaves me with a fender or hood lip mount. Could possibly do something on the fiberglass topper.
I have read that anything other than center of mass on the roof will distort the signal. Thinking that as long as the tip is above the vehicle roofline then all should be good but I'm speaking out of an abundance of ignorance.
Any suggestions on mounts and high gain antennas much appreciated.
