    How about a hood lip mounted firestick? Should work ok...get the proper shaft for what you are listening to - I am guessing trunking 800 mhz if it is OPD/OCSO. Enjoy & happy wheeling!!

    It's mounted to my aluminum toolbox, hence the grounding question. It seems to work ok just looking for better.
