Greetings all,
Has anyone found a good source for a low profile all-band antenna? We use the Phantom Elite as our primary for 7/800 installs. We have a handful of units running MultiBand 7500 and 8500s, I understand the Phantom Elite is a bit small maybe for an all-band but the Motorola All Band Antenna is enormous.
Thanks all.

The giant donkey dong antennas from Moto and other sources seem to be the only ones available. Ugly as sin.

The Larsen looks like an all band scanner antenna... which it pretty much based on.. Much more ascetically pleasing and performance wisecom501 wrote: Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:51 am The giant donkey dong antennas from Moto and other sources seem to be the only ones available. Ugly as sin.

Re: Low Profile Allband Antennas
Yep, I have those now and I really don't care for their aesthetic but that's not my concern. The handful of small vehicles that have multiband have them and I'm fine with that. I have one oversize vehicle that has a porcupine patch on the roof. Most of the single band radios installed on it have moved to phantoms because of clearance issues. The open coil 800 antennas and 1/4 wave vhf whips get pigtailed at the top. The allband I fear would simply exit the roof when pulling out of the storage facility.com501 wrote: Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:51 am The giant donkey dong antennas from Moto and other sources seem to be the only ones available.

They make an all band for the 8000 that would be short enough to meet the need, not sure why there's not a more compact offering for NMO.
