I purchased two of these antennas, one for my Polaris Ranger, and one for my Polaris RZR. The older whip antenna on my Ranger was all bent from going under low hanging branches while hunting, and needed to be removed to put a cover over the machine. The Ghost Antenna will solve these issues. The antenna will now be even with the plastic roof of the Ranger, but will still have the ground plane from the bracket I built to mount it on.
One the RZR, the aluminum roof is slanted at the right angle so the top of the antenna will be even with the highest point of the roof. This will make it less liable to be damaged, and still allow me to put a cover over my machine, without having to remove the antenna.
I'll be buying a third Ghost antenna for mounting with the clip on mount for my truck when traveling with friends so we can talk back and forth between our rigs. I move my MXT 275 radio from one of the offroad machines to the truck until we get to our destination.
I have been using the Midland MXT115 radio with the supplied magnetic antenna for the past year and have been really enjoying how clean and clear the transmissions have been even in the FRS channels. Once I decided how I was going to mount the radio in my truck ( Lexus GX470 ) I knew i would have to hard mount the antenna. I went with the universal lip mount and the Ghost 3db antenna to try to keep both the profile down and get a boost in range... it has worked out great in both respects!! The low profile of the Ghost doesn't scream look at me and the extra bit of range seems to be working out great and no issues hearing anyone on the trail in our group nor on the road when we are driving in a group convoy. Now for the normal stuff... shipping time was quick especially in the Covid time... product was in great condition and no damages as well as fitting perfectly. I recommend the GRMS radios to anyone who asks and the Midland by brand. The product is just as advertised and it just works.
