    VHF/UHF mobile antenna recommendations

    Can any of you guys recommend a good mobile magnetic mount antenna for 2 meters and 220/440? I want to plug the VX-6R in to hopefully help a little bit even though my srh320a doesn't do too bad even in the car.

    Are Yaesus being made in China and suffering?
