Re: Ham AND Cb

I am going to agree and disagree here at the same time...
A handheld is a great way to get into Amateur Radio but you will find that an external antenna will make a huge difference...just ask that guys that use a 5watt handheld and quality antenna to reach some serious distances...

The thru glass antennas are very functional or a good mag mount antenna will serve you well. Or you could do like I do and use a lip mount that goes on the back door up at the top.

Best of all you are getting into ham and you will love the fm quality.
As a side note I used a vx6 velcroed to the dash with an extended speaker mic and it worked great.
