glass mount cb aerials
Hi all, just fixing up my disco for some greenlaning, and want to put my cb rig in. Was looking at maybe a mag mount but have seen a type of glass mount aerial similar to a mobile phone aerial. problem maybe the rear printed aerial on the rear glass. Does anyone have any experience of these types of aerial and are they any good?? cheers jezCorrado Vr6

Would you really want something that flexes on your glass roof , have you got the roof rails?, if so pm Uncle Ray, he makes a cracking bracket
On-Glass antennae are traditionally restricted to high-band VHF and UHF options. These whips are relatively short and stiff. The higher the frequency, the shorter the whip, and mobile phone frequencies are much higher than UHF so can have whips that would suit a hampster dominatrix! . By contrast, an effective CB antenna needs to be significantly longer (typically over 1m long) hence an on-glass mounting is a non-starter. They are glued onto the window and the glue simply couldn't cope with such a whip swinging about on it.The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Mine has a 1.2 mtr Cb ariel on it, no problems whatsoever. Although it now has been relocated to the expo rack now
