[chirp_users] Suggestions for mag-mount dual-band antenna

[Lisa Soto]

I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Tram-1185-Amateur-Dual-Band-Antenna/dp/B0045EQUBK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1399387563&sr=1-1&keywords=tram+1185

and so far it's been really great. I get nice reception and transmission
local to my repeater (20 miles-ish). It may go even further; that's just
what I've tested and experienced.  I can't speak to scratching because I
haven't looked on the roof lately. It's low gain but seems to work well
with my UV-5R-AX+. I frequently get comments about "good audio". The
annoying part was waiting for the adapter to come in from China.
