I just yesterday installed one of Jeff Anderson's antenna splitters.  It's a

little box in the trunk that allows the CB to share the stock radio antenna

with the AM-FM radio.  It's always there, but "invisible".  Seems to work fine.



Previously, I made a bracket that attached to one of the license plate bolts

and held a 24" top loaded antenna.  It worked fine, but I got tired of

removing it between trips.  It stayed in the trunk and the cable stayed in

place.  I think I'm going to like the splitter better.



When I take the 2-meter I use a *TINY* HT antenna with a magnet the size of

a quarter.  So far it hasn't hurt the paint.
