Not enough information. You didn’t even state what kind of radio as that makes a huge difference. If you are talking a CB, don’t waste a second of your time or a dime of your money. I run close to 600 miles a night and don’t run one anymore. Only complete fricking morons on that band anymore.

OP is talking about a UHF repeater/radio thingy which band freq is somewhere out of the range of amateur radio spectrum. Antenna is a fiberglass 0 DBi stubby looking of brand I am not familiar with.

I would go simple magnet mount as those antennas are small. Antenna tune (I believe) isn’t quite as critical as with the lower frequency.

What kind of truck do you run? Run east/west coast or all over?

Run dedicated line haul from Michigan to Youngstown Ohio right now. I switch it up sometimes and run to Chicago land.

Has any other radio service taken over what was the role of CB's and interstate highway travel a few decades back? It's be great to give and get a head's up regarding hazards up ahead.

I think the smart phone has replaced most all of it. The CB is full of garbage. My experience (granted it was 20 years ago) with 2m and 440 was on the total other end of the spectrum. Completely stuffy and being a young adult I felt totally un welcomed. Let my license expire long ago.
