If the mag mount is stuck onto a big enough piece of metal then the antenna tuning should be stable between positions on the ham vhf/uhf frequqncies. Those frequencies tune much more easily than CB or HF radio frequencies do, those are very touchy. If you have an SWR meter, you have to make sure...

SSB can be used to increase range due to its increased power and narrow bandwith. You can google what it sounds like. In the original star wars movie the battle scene at the end sounds liek SSB. You loose fidelity but gain power and range. Like the previous comments mentioned unless there is...
