And that is something I am waiting to see, but the issue is how does the RF signal get from the antenna to the radio? Can we cut that hole for the NMO mount in the roof. I suspect that might not be a good idea. I may well decide that I am willing to forgo optimum RF propagation for the other...

That's why I have not purchased a number of vehicles I otherwise really liked. I have a strong desire for an off grid vehicle and will have to weigh if the trade offs merit it. A metal roof would really tilt things.

I'm very familiar with adding ground planes. It is often done on RV's and camper tops for mobile ICP's. The issue still comes back to the best spot is the center of the roof for propagation and line of sight. Cutting that hole in the glass roof is probably not a good plan. The couplers for glass...

Sorry but the way radio works is pretty much defined by physics. The best place for a mobile two-way radio antenna is the center of the roof. It is the highest spot which matters for line of sight communications and it provides the best ground plane. Off center locations affect the direction of...

I don't see an antenna on that. If it is an urban or small area jurisdiction, they might be able to run handhelds only. Such areas are usually well covered with repeaters and satellite receivers. I am more likely to work in less well endowed communications environments and need better antennas...

No clue what police are using Teslas. The absolute best location for an antenna is the middle of the roof. There are glass mount antennas, but they degrade performance. You really don't want to reduce your ability to communicate during a SAR event. I have the primary antenna in the center of...

So what is going to be the best solution to cut 3/4" holes for an NMO mounts for two-way radios in the Cybertruck? Just asking. I'm involved with a SAR organization. The Cybertruck has some appeal, but it is an issue. Easy enough on conventional trucks if you avoid sunroofs which is getting...

1. Starlink 2. Speedo and other gauges in front of steering wheel 3. extra range Also like winch option and especially like the real spare, mounted on a swingaway behind the tailgate.
