It's money wasted in my opinion but since you pulled the trigger I would be interested in how the AM Aircraft receive is.

Always liked the look of the D300

Not sure why you would even want to use it horizontal as 99% FM coms on two meters is vertical.

It was turkey!

All bought used

I was thinking that this being posing in the CB section you are asking about current CB setups, well I don't have any CB setup anymore. My last setup on that band was in 1990 and that consisted of a ICOM 720a (yellow wire cut), Big Stick and PDL2 on an 80' tower. Nowadays, I use a Yaesu...

www.smileyantenna.com are the best you can get. They are hand made and tuned, the are 100% American made. They are however not dual band so you would need two. They do sell a dual band one but it's flimsy and not good for walking around with.

It very common to ground mount a multi-band vertical antenna on the ham bands, but for 11 meter (VHF/UHF as well) ground wave comms higher is better

I have one and yes the firmware is upgradable but honestly the radio is crap. The AM Aircraft receive is very prone to being swamped, the build quality is suspect and yes I have several Chinese HTs to compare it to. Its only redeeming value is the ability to hack the firmware.

Wow, its a far cry from the original Adams -

Never heard of Tagra antennas before, seem like they have an extensive line but they look more like a reseller than manufacture.

While not on 11 meters but I have run stacked Cushcraft 17B2 17 element beams at 80'. It was a pain in the ass to setup but it worked great. For those that don't know this was on 2 meter 144.200mhz.

The K30 is not a bad antenna, I ran one on ten meters for a while.

An ego trip is all it is.

I don't get it but to each their own.

Yes, the car manufacturers would offer them as an option, my dad had an 83 Buick Estate wagon with an AM FM CB built in.

No

www.k0bg.com go here are read up, this site is all about mobile antenna setup. It's ham radio focused but applies to 11 meters as well.

I have worked Japan, Argentina, most of Europe, and Hawaii all mobile.
