For a number of reasons I'm not keen to install a fixed radio/antenna so I'm thinking of doing the following: get one of the better (5w) handhelds, which should be okay for most situations like talking to the roadtrain in front of me, and a magnetic-mount antenna which I can just stick on the roof and plug the handheld into when a little additional range is critical. The antenna would normally stay in the boot until required. One of the reasons for getting a handheld is that I can always walk it to higher ground to improve range, and it seems generally more flexible.
Would the above setup work? Would the magnetic-mount antenna significantly improve range when needed?
