Hi Bob & Everyone
The Diamond X200 is a great antenna.
I used one for about seven years.
It survived a move from Philly to New Jersey.
Then, it took a lightning strike and that killed it.
I tried using one in my addict but, my addict wasn't big enough so I had to
go with the Diamond X50 and it works just fine.
But, an HT and a mag mount will work just fine.
The only thing you'll need is something for a counterpoise like a steel
plate.
Pizza plates work well.
You can also use a file cabinet.
Hope this helps.
