Heading Out
Adventurer
I am setting up GMRS radio for my Jeep.
This is for a 93 Jeep Wrangler YJ running a Midland Micromobile MXT115 radio.
I may upgrade to the MXT400 in the future.
I am planning on mounting the antenna on a taillight bracket. the type that mounts
under the stock tail light and has a flat area above the light to mount the antenna.
I usually run no top, when I do it is a fiberglass hardtop.
I already have one on the passenger side for CB and have the bracket for the driver side.
this leads me to the question, at hand,
I am thinking the PCTEL antenna will work better with no ground plane.
and the Larsen wants/needs a ground plane that the taillight mount will not provide.
What an I missing?
