Also, I do not know what a coax choke is.

"Why would you want a ground plane kit for a mobile antenna in the first place?"... or are you looking for a base antenna?

As I mention in my original post, I have a height restriction. Therefore, I am trying to set up a quality mobile antenna as a base antenna. It's not as easy as one might think. You need some thing to take the place of the vehicle, which acts as a ground plane for the mobile antenna.

Why don't you try a dipole? They're easy to make and easy to hide, and will work better than any mobile antenna.

Have to agree with Beercanman...If Hieght restrictions is a issue, then I would go with a dipole antenna...You can string one of those up inside your attic...Or across the top of the roof and no one would ever know!
