    I have never seen installed antenna on Cascadia mirror . You said you have bracket for the mirror. where did you get it? It must be something special.

    If you have one of those threaded stems that screw into the mirror mount, be careful about putting it on the passenger side. I've never had one but I don't know what would keep it from becoming unscrewed by the force of the wind pushing against your antenna. And thread locker would probably muck up your ground.

    I've decided, after much debate and speaking with several drivers,that I will put it on driver side. Should work out pretty good. Thanks for your idea. I appreciate it.

    They sell them every where now( major truck stops). They weren't to prevalent in the beginning, but now they are easy to find.

    This one is stainless steel, I got it at Bob's CB shop I-80 exit 70 in PA for $30, you can get an aluminum one most anywheres for 32 to 35 dollars. Go figure?
