Best AM/FM aerial

i went with a GME AE2. on the guard on the passenger side, a few inches forward of the firewall.

i just clip it down if needed...

Nope, don’t recall any although I generally turn the radio down or off when I’m chatting on the UHF.

Turning the UHF on is a rarity anyways.

I’m about to go down to one antenna, have already removed the mobile phone antenna and am about to remove the AM/FM as I’m removing the stereo permanently.....which will leave me with just the UHF.

IHF, AM/FM and Mobile Phone....didn’t bother me but Wendy didn’t really like them.

Will be down to one soon...maybe zero in the future as I’m thinking of relocating the UHF away from the front.

wonder what the definition of a "large base" is

from the qld tmr site...

I have 2 UHF radios, can I fit the aerials to the bull bar and do I need a modification plate?

A vehicle can be fitted with long range antennas without specific approval, provided they meet the following requirements:

• Forward mounting of an antenna is permitted only when it is impossible or impractical to install the antenna to the rear of the vehicle.
• The installation must be attached as low as is practical to ensure the large diameter section of the antenna projects above the bonnet line as little as possible.
• Only one long range antenna (large diameter base) may be fitted to the front of a vehicle and must be fitted to the left side (maximum diameter permitted 75mm).
• All sharp edges or protrusions which could cause injury to anyone making contact with the device must be removed or rounded.

so your pictured setup would be illegal going by that definition then.

see lots of similar setups, so it obviously isn't enforced.
