Any recommendations for a mobile antenna for a Baofeng HT - I'm thinking a magnetic mount for the roof of the truck?
I have the NA-771 on it now, range from within the truck for a successful simplex transmission seems a bit under 2 miles (terrain was fairly hilly, very little line-of-sight). At this point I don't want a fixed antenna mount for that particular truck, and I'm not at the point where I want a regular mobile 2m radio, either. But I wouldn't mind getting a bit more out of the handheld unit.
