Mount it any where it wont get ripped off. These anteneas need to be earthed so I am told. I have one, great small little unit.

how much are these little units worth??
was it a trademe special??

some antennas are ground dependant, meaning they need a flat base to reflect off. bit less common so chances are you have the wire one about 400mm tall with a spiral in it. in which case mount it any where it wont get ripped off. bull bars good as its low and you can see when its going to get caught in the scrub and ripped off. mount it with steel so it gets its earth not plasstic or rubber

Those radios look like the new uniden ones ...

Those big ones look like they are designed for the outback and may get knocked off pretty quick, I have these ones in stock which are groundplane independant (can be mounted anywhere)

(note this isnt the ideal place to mount it).

Can still do the Uniden 7700's as well

just checked radio pic that aerial can be mounted any where. you can get the same aerial without that big tall base too. not sure if you can seperate the one you have tho. neat little units that perform well
