I have a Motorola Ultra Classic Handheld.  Since I often travel on the
fringes of my home cell, I am considering adding an external antenna
to my car.

Has anyone done this before?  Pardon me if this has already been
discussed.  Do you think it would help?  Should I go with the 5db
model?  Glass mount or Magnetic mount?

Is it even worth the bother?

Does anyone else have an Ultra Classic they have integrated into their
car?

Thanks,
