Re: Through The Glass Antennas
said by tobicat  :I think the problem would be your particular car. All of my current vehicles have all sorts of stuff embedded in the glass. --SNIP-- compasses, dimmers, thermostats and who knows what else. Please explain those electronics in glass, maybe cite an example? I've never heard of it.

My experience has been glass-mounts are okay on 800 MHz, marginal on UHF and lousy on VHF.
