A ground independent antenna is electrically superior - where you mount it is still important though as shielding from the vehicle will affect performance. If you mount it half way up the back door, the antenna performance will be pretty good in the arc behind the vehicle and somewhat less in the forward arc.

hey amts do you intend on leaving the antenna fitted full time looking at your vid showing the shelf you should have plenty of room to keep the base on without the antenna fitted I have a Gme with spring base and the base is 100mm high.
the cables are hard wired to the base its easy to figure out install, once you get it you'll see.
If you are able to feed some spare cable into the spring to allow for flex.
if you like the idea of the knockdowns have a look at theuteshed.com.au for another alternative

I don't. The missus bought it. I suppose they're cheaper than having more kids.
On more exciting news, the antenna(s) have arrived. Unfortunately, the base is nearly 310mm long. I now have 3 options:
1) swap parking positions in the garage with the missus' car
2) fit antenna at the spare tyre
3) fit to roof rack and fabricate a knockdown bracketLast edited by amts; 27-06-2012, 11:59 PM.
