Hi Steve and welcome :)

Antennas are always a compromise between size and practicality, the longer the better performance but least practical. So we normally advise to go for the biggest antenna you can get away with.

The Mini Orbitor will work well on a HGV, just mount it as high as you can... https://www.thunderpole.co.uk/medium-cb ... bitor.html

Most people tend to stick on Channel 19 as that is generally the calling channel.

Andy :wink:

What’s the best way to run the cable from the roof into the cab ?

Thanks Steve
