    The dual band antenna actually goes to a dual band radio. The other antenna is dedicated to the kenwood

    I put silicone around the grommet, after several years of fuckery there was no evidence of water under the carpet.

    The long 5/8 wave but sometimes i use a 1/4 wave vhf antenna

    you can see the short vhf antenna here
    619D1582-E29C-4FDB-BEFD-E68D9763CD93.jpg 6BE9B124-9C3C-4865-95D2-435EDA0F4D71.jpg

    the 1/4” short vhf works almost as good as the 5/8

    How's the performance with the shorter 1/4" short? I'd rather not have a huge antenna if I can avoid it.

    Edit: I see your comment under the pictures now :facepalm:

    @desertjunkie760 where did you get that mounting bracket? Doesn't look like the one that comes with the radio

    A member used to make them. The radio fits very snug with no bracket at all

    I guess I'll make one. I dont like the idea of a radio not secured, no matter how snug the fit.

    Still unsure of what antenna i want, and I'm very much a see in person kind of guy. You can call or order online and pick up in person, but not allowed to go in their store for some reason.
