I have to agree with John. I owned one
Thru-the-Glass mount. I was not impressed. If your in a busy metro area and working repeaters that are close by, no problem. I'm out in a rural area for the most part. Closest 2 meter repeaters 23 miles to the south, 30 to the west and even further north and east. Lot's of loss in those type antennas. I had also rather work simplex when I can so I found they are not that great for marginal signals. I don't know what the rf power limits are on them, one of the radios I have runs about 75 watts output.
It's not my choice of antennas.
