    Has anyone on the forum ever put a MM9-Short on a T-600 using the mirror mounts? If so, what were the results?
    Thanks.

    Most coils seem to work best when it's close to or above the roof.

    WA4GCH - New radio and antenna was a gift from my wife. She bought it online for my birthday. I have a brand new, 5', K-40 fiberglass, too which I had just purchased.

    Big m,
    I kind of thought so. Been running cb's since I started driving OTR back in 1974, but never really had any good equipment. I did some research after she gave it to me and the subject about location of the coil came up several times. The top of the coil on this is about eight or nine inches below the roof line.

    With a T-600 you would want to use an 81 inch mid or top load 1/4 wave antenna for best results. Monkey Made never made an 81 inch antenna of any kind. Here is an antenna specifically designed for your truck.
