1) I have a cheap-short dual band MFJ antenna for mobile ham and I used a clamp-style mount on the ladder for it. I intend to get a high-gain antenna for when I am parked and want to reach out further than "down-the-road."

2) I used a handheld CB for years and for traffic it works fine. With a larger radio I sometime hear a little too much distance. It is invaluable to have a CB to ask questions like "okay guys, where do I hit the ice NorthboundI-17?"

The antenna broke on the handheld and a replacement costs more than the radio!

I bought the cheapest dash mount that I could find at Radio Shack and didn't mount it so that I could move it from my Toad to the MH easily. Still need to mount an antenna on the MH though.
