Uhf Antenna

Brew's right, those little rubber ones (I had a $30 one) are just fantastic! I only switched to a bigger antenna because of the same reason I drive a 4wd (according to Mr Scruby). There really was not much better performance going to the bigger 6db (which I kinda new before I did it anyway). I keep the small one in the tool box as a spare in case I break one when away.

So there you go....Size doesn't matter. ;-)

You can always cut the coax under the bonnet and crimp two BNC's onto it with a joiner. That's what I've done to mine as I have a couple of different antennas all with coax fed through the base. That way I can open the bonnet, undo the BNC and fit the other one in seconds. The signal loss through a BNC connection if crimped well would be bugger all to nothing too. The advantage with the coax direct type antennas is the mongrals have a hard time stealing them off your vehicle around town!! ;-)
