I have been using a CB radio for about 4 years now and am just now getting more serious about the hobby. I ran a k30 then a little wil. Trying to get more serious I got a Predator 10-k with a single 5 inch mag(stupid I know now). Then with a new residence I ran into some height issues switched to a 4 Wilson fgt. I have finally decided to do a hard mount( after many issue of poor performance and magnets flying off). Need some guidance here: should I drill a hole in the center of my roof and run an antenna under 5 feet or do a door jamb mount on the back hatch of my truck. If I do the door jamb mount I would run a 102 whip. Problem I have a roof rack... Will a antenna in the center of my roof under 5 feet preform better than a 102 near a roof rack? Also will a door jamb mount with a good spring hold a 102 whip?
PS I have a 1999 Toyota 4Runner(google some pics of the roof rack)
Suggestions?
Thanks for any help
