COBRA 29LTD WX SOUNDTRACKER FOR AN OVER THE COUNTER RADIO NORMALLY UNDER OR JUST ABOVE A $100 BUCKS DEPENDING WHERE U BUY IT, fLYING J'S ARE NORMALLY THE LEAST EXPENSIVE
AS FAR AS AN ANTENNA, IT UP TO YOUR OWN PREFERENCE
Mounting ON TOP OF VAN IS FINE, IT'S BASICALLY THE BEST FOR A VAN, BECAUSE IT ACTS AS A LARGE GROUND PLAIN. BUT I MYSELF USE A STAINLESS 102"WHIP(RADIO SHACK ABOUT $15-20 BUCKS) ATTACHED TO THE BUMPER WITH A CUSTOMMADE STAINLESS BRACKET, that you can have it away from your rear doors depending the vehicle mfg. Chevy or GMC it will clear, Ford it won't OR U CAN EITHER USE MAGNETIC BASE OR DRILL HOLE AND MOUNT ON ROOF
THE BEST And strongest MAGNETIC BASE IS THE WILSON K-40 CAUSE IS IS WIDER AND HEAVIER THAN THAT OF THE ONES THAT ARE OUT THERE, AND SHE WILL HOLD GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70+
