They suck. No ground plane whatsoever. Stick to a traditional through the body mount (Wilson or K40) or a solid external mount with a good stainless whip.

I agree, . the through the class approach is not good on CB. They work okay on HAM and on Cell phone and commercial radio applications because the radio frequency is much higher. CB the wavelength is just too long to tolerate the interference from the glass. See, I remember some of that theory from my HAM license class. . .lol
