I have a magnetic mount for my scanner...and it has yet to move from high
wind speed. I get great reception....in Connecticut (which has a number of
hills and valleys) i can reach my home town 50 miles away with a Radio
Shmack antenna. I needed one quick and am actually quite pleased. It will
be replaced soon though with a nice one. They say "wind tested to 60 mph"
but it can and will handle much more than that. I have the magentic for teh
fact that i show the truck on weekends and dont want the antennas all over
the place for the show.

Yes they are.

They are not great, but better than nothing.

The bracket is attached to the bolt just infront of the hood hinge. From
what ive heard they work pretty well.
