Tram CB/Weather-Band Glass-Mount Antenna vs 42 Inch Magnet Mount CB Antenna
The 42-inch magnet mount is the better pick for most shoppers. It has a longer whip, higher power handling, a limited lifetime warranty and much stronger owner feedback. The Tram glass-mount is the choice only if you cannot use a magnet, such as on a fiberglass or aluminum body, or want a permanent low-profile install. Owners of the magnet mount praise reception once tuned but complain the magnet can slip in heavy rain, so check your roof material first.
- Choose the Tram glass-mount if your vehicle has no steel roof or trunk lid for a magnet, or you want a permanent, low-profile install with a longer cable run.
- Choose the 42-inch magnet mount if you have a steel roof or trunk lid and want the strongest reception, more power headroom and a warranty.
