Even though I don't have my radio in hand yet (HRO $162 including tax), I'm already thinking about buying or making a 2m / 70 cm magnetic base antenna for my car. There are plenty of plans on line but I also see that Amazon has one for $16 including shipping.
I expect to mostly use my radio around Phoenix where the repeaters might let me operate with just the rubber duck inside my car. I will try that before buying an external antenna. On rare occasions I drive to Tucson and see value in an external antenna for that trip.
What is popular?
