What and then steal them and install them on his 3?

Are you remembering an H2 or H3 with dual antennas. Several H2'ers have duals. Alec W and H2 Rocks, probablty several others too.

Otherwise poke around these for mounting ideas (found them using search):

If you don't see something that works, cook something up

Not quite what I had in mind.
I think they might sell them in the truck accessories.

Some good reading on dual antennas. I don't know how TGL has his connected, but just slapping an extra antenna up there won't necessarily improve signal.

x2, plus if you really want to use 2 antenna's to improve reception (instead of just looking really good), have a professional tune it unless you've done it before. I had a 5' firestik on my Jeep and could never tune it right, had a CB-expert buddy of mine tune it for me and it was way better. I think it's harder to tune a twin-stick setup.

I like this idea and look much better than my original idea of mounting it on the roof. I have both a CB and a scanner. If I had two antennas side by side, would there be a problem with interference? The scanner is also a digital, trunking scanner so I can escape with ease!!
