hi M Rose, and @El-Dracho can i ask what you think of all the different areials and radios please, also what watts or where to put them please. i have read above and found it very informative. i have heard its best to keep on roof by some people and then on the front, side or rear of the vehicle by others etc. little bit confusing. i have also heard people saying that you can have 5,25,50 watt machines but i am now confused. was wondering if people can help me please.

many thanks scrappy wolf.

Hi,
Just read your question. Was on the road for a while...
So, I see the questions where answered comprehensively already by the other members in the previous answers - very good!
Just wouod like to add to the question regarding the mounting position of the antenna that this is always a bit tricky from my experience. Having already two antennas on the rig and the roof was not an option for me as I would like to keep the height of the rig low, I installed it at the front which is quite ok.
Cheers, Bjoern
