Hello Bob ... and everyone ...
> I can run txs on any frequency in my vehicle without any
I can TX too ... but Bob...it isn't the TX part most users
complain about ..it is the noise coming in on their radios
after they have tx'ed and now want to RX what their contact
is saying.

Most rigs we are focused on here, have their Antennas mounted
on the mirrors or on top...but never back there Bob...There
is usually a 60ft to 100ft trailer back there....after all
most C15s are 5th wheel.
As for behind the driver's seat .... mmmm ... never seen a
18wheeler yet with it there.

Just me interjecting into my own text that Bob has supplied

Bob ... are you talking about your 4wheeler? or the big rig?
Just to clear it up ... I just do not see a antenna at the
back of a 18wheeler with the 5th wheel there as well in most
cases a trailer.
