Re: Through The Glass Antennas

said by Gbcue:

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.
