I use a Cobra 75 WX ST which is the little unit with the radio in the handset/microphone. The only thing that has to be remote mounted is a little Connector Box and it'll fit most anywhere. Have had good luck with it and love the way it will fit most anywhere.
I don't use the thing very often as the only antenna I have is a mag mount which I stick on the roof. Keep knocking that sucker off. That's one reason I started this thread. Trying to find a decent antenna. Was hoping someone had tried something that is a little more unobtrusive. I know, I know, the longer it is and the higher it's mounted the better, but I'm willing to give up some range for something that won't get in the way.
Still looking for ideas people....
