[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 940162, member: 11383"] I chose that spot mostly because the metal on the roof was strongest at that point. As you move forward on the cab (I have a super crew) the roof becomes more flexible. I was trying to avoid having the roof and antenna flex while driving at speed. With regards to reception and distance on two way radios, it is my understanding that it is the height of the antenna that really makes a difference and that the placement doesn't affect reception the same way as it might with a radio operating at different frequencies (i.e. Citizen Band). Let me caveat all this by saying I am a n00b to two-way radios so if someone wants to lay down the law here, please do, you won't hurt my feelings. Good luck with your mount Kahuna! [/QUOTE]
