Okay, folks..I know most of us prefer the Firestiks..anyone care to explain why?
Why use the length that you use, be it 2', 3', 4', 120" whips, etc?
Where did you mount yours, what kind of mount did you use, and what influenced you to mount it there?
Where did you buy it and for how much?
Personally, because I don't plan on talking to anyone in Hawaii from Tennessee, I don't need anything bigger than 4'. That will provide enough umph for the trails and meetups around town (ie, Xs for Xmas at the dealership). I have a temporary magnetic mount right now with a 4' whip w/ internal coil, but my long-term plans are for a dual-purpose mount similar to soccerbrace's on CX (found here).
Nissan also recommends keeping the coax AWAY from the fuel lines and the ECM, as it could interfere with the MFI. I read that in the owner's manual of my 2002.
My VHF antenna is a 12", 1/4" wave with a magnetic NMO mount that will go on the roof behind the sunroof.
This is post to encourage sharing the knowledge of the folks who know more about this stuff than the rest of us. Hopefully, we can pack enough information into it to earn it a Sticky for all to see in the future.
