There is no perfect antenna. What works for Joe Bob, may not work for Billy Bob.

What ever happened to the Z-180? It was supposed to be the cats meow of mag mounts or was it just one of those flash in the pan antennas? It didn't seem to stick around very long.

My understanding after contacting Copper Electronics is that it has been discontinued.
And YES it was and still is the Cat's Meow of all mobile antennas in my opinion. 
I LOVE my Z-180 and hope it last's FOREVER!

IMO, the 102" steel whip is the best mobile antenna; then the Skipshooter and Uglystick by AEF, then the Quad Wound by Solarcon.

I must agree with Twowatt! The BEST mobile antenna period! A properly installed 102 inch stainless steel whip. All others are compared to it. Some may come close but still come in second when it comes to efficiency.

Hey Short Legs ! get a 102 with a spring and get it mounted in a nice spot and just TALK ! make shure its grounded and make shure your coax is in good shape ! hint hint get some 213 its a pain to run but you wont have to upgrade if you get a 500 watt amp !!! Hope it helps !

Sir_monte,
Remove Magnet from holder, Clean magnet.
You can paint magnet or cover magnet with clear plastic sandwich bag.
Problem solved.

Or remove magnet put in roof mount wilson and never clean, or fall off, or scratch the paint when you pull up on that strong magnet. IMHO
