Thanks everyone!
It's always great to read the bottom line and specific recommendations.
I bought the Cobra 75WXST in early December. At that time I was in a hurry to have it working so I also bought a magnetic base antenna. The goal now is to have a more effective and permanent setup.
I'll pick up the single Firestik this weekend. Firestik's Firefly is appealing due to its flexibility although I imagine I can get sufficient flex by installing a base spring.
One more question:
I see on Firestik's web site three different coax setups, each with a different type connector on the antenna end. All but one look like one end's connector will need to be cut-off to allow the cable to fit through the roof marker light boot. True? If yes, then do you recommend also buying a replacement connector?
This model cable from Firestik is made for easy routing. If I can find it, this looks like the ticket, yes?
Thanks again. I very much appreciate your time and advice.
