Wow lot to be said here but I see you have a good antenna in mind! The 102 is one of the best mobile antennas there is but its huge so you do got to watch what you hit or try not to hit. Also you want to check your SWR even though the 102 does not need tuned it help to see if everything is working in the system. You can do this by useing an SWR meter or if the radio you are geting has one built in that will work to. good luck!
