psdnakita...

From your screen name I am going to assume you have a Power Stroke Deisel pickup.

That means you have a vehicle with a large metal roof that's high up off the ground. For 2m/440 amateur bands that makes a grand ground plane. For excellent omni-directional coverage at minimal cost the best solution is a 5/8 wave magmount in the middle of that roof.

Any objections to that?

If not a large pickup, then what sort pf vehicle are you putting this into?
