Where is the antenna installation position for the Pajero vehicle radio?

Pajero vehicle radio antenna installation position: The best communication effect is on the roof, while the best aesthetic effect is at the rear. Overview of the antenna: A car antenna is a device that intercepts high-frequency radio waves transmitted by broadcasting stations and transmits them to the car radio, mobile phone, or radio navigation receiver to demodulate the carrier wave. Additional information: The characteristic of car antennas due to environmental usage is that they must consider the arbitrary mobile usage conditions of the vehicle. Except for devices like ETC used in specific locations, general vehicle antennas should be non-directional. Classification of antennas: Radio and station antennas mainly include AM/FM antennas, flexible PCB digital antennas, AM/FM/TV antennas, etc. Depending on different functions and uses, the frequency of the antennas used also varies.
I installed the antenna for my Pajero's car radio at the front end of the roof rack, and the signal reception is excellent in this position, especially when off-roading—I hardly ever miss calls from teammates. I agonized over the installation location for a long time. I considered mounting it on the side of the hood but worried it might get knocked out of alignment by high-pressure car wash jets. I also tried the tailgate position, but the rear-mounted spare tire kept getting in the way, causing the antenna to wobble constantly. In the end, I chose to drill a hole in the roof for a secure mount. Though I was nervous about making a small hole in the roof, the waterproof gasket has kept it completely leak-free for three years. As a side note, make sure to calculate the antenna length carefully—anything over 2 meters might scrape against ceiling lights in underground garages, so be cautious.
