They don't seem to make stubbys for these radios. Antenna length is important. I'm thinking of going on the side of the motorhome with as much of the tip sticking above the roof as possible. Need to have clearence. So maybe as high as the highest item on the roof.
Has anyone else done this and what luck have you had?
Thank you in advance

P.S. Please don't turn this into a GMRS licenseing thread. We use non GMRS channels.

Speaking of off-road racing, we're currently in the woods of southern Ohio spectating the Southern Ohio Forest Rally. The ONLY comms that work here are 2-meter amateur repeaters... We worked this event 30+ years ago for the safety communications staff. If you're not familiar with Ken Block, look him up on YouTube... He's here for this event.
Sorry off topic... back to Earth now...
