This is one of those subjects that has been covered a gazillion
times here on this List. So.....go check the archives for many suggestions.
Me, I have mine mounted on the front right hand edge of the Fiberglas roof
luggage rack, close to the mounting screw, held in place with double sided
automotive quality tape. Works perfectly there in Canada, US and Mexico.
I keep a second antenna with me so when I'm camping under big 'ol trees
for shade I can use that other antenna for pick up. It does NOT need to be
on a steel surface to pick up the signal.

Westy? The Instructions say that it is to be mounted on a metallic =
surface with 3 inches of metal all around. Being that the whole surface =
area is fiberglass I don't see how this is possible. Any suggestions?<<<<<
