Re: Through The Glass Antennas

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.
I know some cars that have windshields coated with metal but never any side or rear windows.

Some automotive glass contains a minor (less than 20%) metallicized tint additive that will all but render a glass-mount antenna useless.

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