    After drilling a hole in the center of your roof, the best antenna is the longest one you are willing to bolt to your roof.
    Choosing any other mounting location will cause you to lose probably 90% of your performance, at which point it won't matter which antenna you choose.

    This thread brings up a question I have. I have a 2013 F150, 4-door...and right now (which I can only imagine isn't great at all for the coax) but I'm running the coax through my 1 door that gets used the least.

    Is there a different area on my pickup that I can run the antenna out so that it has zero interference with doors.windows?
