[QUOTE="Ditchplains1, post: 1262606, member: 12347"] Fusco0520, Yes you can mount it to the bedside. Yes you will lose some range. Yes it will work. In perfect conditions with out any interference from hills/buildings your range with a groundplane antenna on the roof would be upwards of 20 miles +/-. Mounting it on the bedside you would still be able to still get upwards of 15 miles in the same conditions. A 100 watt radio will reach further than a 50 watt radio. An antenna cut to 1/2 wave length will reach further than one cut to 1/4 wave length. On a typical run you are usually within 1-2 miles of your fellow participants; as such the difference is moot. Going off by yourself in the Canadian Rockies the range becomes ever so much more important... Eddie [/QUOTE]
