[Crash ?]

I've got that Midland.. If you're going to use it with the car adapter you're going to have to mount an external antenna.. You can' power it from a cig plug and use the rubber BNC antenna..

I mounted a Firestik Firefly 4ft on the roof with a flip over mount and am keying an SWR of 1.1 (ch1) - 1.4 (ch40).. Range isn't but maybe 3 miles talking in town, but a 100 watt linear could be hooked in for $100 or so and stretch that on out to 10-15 miles out in the open..

I think Sewie has pics on his website of this antenna setup that he used on a Cobra handheld...

I went with the Midland because it can be used as a portable radio to walk around with if needed..
