antenna - stealth

Post by fireme »

Hey! Bought a Cobra mobile for fun, I want the range but heres the catch, I want the shortest antenna available that gets a decent range. I have a hatchback and dont want to broadcast that I have an CB...I know bigger is better, but what is out there that will do a decent job??? if roof mounted on my car how can i tell what range a 2 foot antenna will do over a 4 foot or 8 foot for that matter??

I had a mini Hustler ages ago.
Only about 18 inches with centre load and mini mag-mount base.
Range wasn't to great but it looked like a taxi antenna. :lol:

You know if you want to get out the Wilson 1000 is a Kickass Antenna and not as obnoxious as lets say a preditor 10k !! Your right it says CB written all over it.
