    I second this question...and not to hijack the thread, where do you get those small antennas the cops have on their trunk lid? Thanks...

    Hello,

    Remember the 'shorter' the antenna the worst the coverage. A 1/4 wave is basically 9 ft long. The better 'short' base loaded antenna's would be like a k-4x or ones of those 'class'. There is a lot of difference between base loaded antenna's. Stay away from very short cb antenna's, there isn't much there to radiate a signal.

    Take care,

    spin

    Since Jan. '05 I've been running the Midland 75-822 CB Radio with an external speaker and a Wilson 5000 mag antenna with a Wilson short-load...
    The antenna is the one giving you a good or a bad Tx/Rx range, the CB Radio has nothing to do with the Tx/Rx range...
    And no interference with the STI, CB/Wilson 5000 and the STI a great combination :wink:

    I wouldn't go with a handheld unit, but that's just me.

    Go with a built in unit. You can mount it between your seat and the center console.
