I'll bet that's exactly what it is...a compromise, and one that doesn't allow for manual tuning as a result. Guess we'll have to see if it actually works.

Re: CB

The ground plane of an antenna is important to the distance it "gets out ". The hidden antennas don't reach as far as the stock ones do.

If you have an antenna on the roof of a car for example, it will transmit much further than one mounted elsewhere because of the ground plane.

RIGHT! That's why I don't understand how this one will be able to successfully transmit. Maybe recieve, but transmit? I doubt it....

Re: CB

It's a "compromise" for eliminating the antenna masts on the bike.
