For the Ham Radio operators. I have a Kenwood D710 with remote head mounted to dash plate on the M1009.
With regard to an antenna. I am using a MFJ 1432B. This is a great VHF/UHF antenna. With this antenna you can choose your own mount.
Yes, bit pricey, but range is worth the money. It's a tall antenna, but can be easily lowered through a spring in the antenna.
I mounted mine on driver side on roof. It's getting banged up. My plans are to attach 2nd CUCV antenna mount to right side, and mount there. This should help reduce it getting banged up.
