UHF Antenna

a lot of losses with that type af antanae...i wouldnt

The other thing you need to consider is the size of the ground plane foil(s) that end up on the windscreen, some of them are fairly big and may hinder your vision.

The base part is about the same size as a GSM phone antenna but they require a much larger ground plane on the inside of the glass, the sales people often forget to mention this, open one up and have a look before you buy.

Personally I would imagine loss of power through the glass, however my old man uses one for his scanner and swears by it, reckons it's one of the best antennas he's got (he's got 5 on the car!!). He does have his on the back window as he's got a sedan so the loss of vision I could not comment on.

All glass mounts exhibit major loss and that's ok if you just want to talk close to vehicles in your convoy etc but if you want max performance don't use them.

don't do it!

for the above reason!
