Galaxy DX-959 40 Channel CB and what CB Antenna ?
Looking at buying a Galaxy DX-959 40 Channel AM/SSB Mobile CB Radio with Frequency Counter, but what CB antenna is best for a motorhome and best place to mount.

Don't use a magnet mount antenna, even on your "metal plate", on a fiberglass class A. A no-ground-plane antenna is required. I really like Wilson and K40 antennas but I'm not sure if they make a no-ground-plane model.
Whatever you choose, be sure to tune it properly for minimum SWR. If you don't, transmitting thru it can burn up the finals in the radio. You will need an SWR meter to tune it. They are pretty inexpensive at truck stops or Radio Shack.
