Default cb antenna

I am trying to find an antenna for my 02 vert. I have read something about the Koolkat but cannot find out who sells it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What alternatives do I have?

I know it's dumb but had a ball with my cb in the truck. Would love to find a very stealth ant. that looked like radio ant. I went to vegas a few weeks ago passed a c5 with about 6' wilson on it sorry but Problem is I don't think it would be to easy to get any kind of ground plane on it...for a good setup.

Being that you have a vert, Your options are limited without cutting holes in things. I had a "thru-glass" mount on my silverado that worked well and didn't look too redneck.

it is Possible that you could get a "thru glass" model to work "thru-fiberglass"

For ideal reception (especially with shorter antennas) you need to have the antenna on the driver's side.

I have a hand held Radio Shack cb with an antenna that sets on the console that really gets in the way on long trips. Was hoping to find something that did not look to gaudy or redneck. Heck I'm a KY boy what do I care about redneck.

For a hand-held, you may want to consider a mount like this one i built for my truck's pro 99 scanner:



I built using PVC pipe and ran the wire through it to an external antenna.
