Depends on the make. There are some quality-built magnetic mount antennas out there, but they will ALWAYS be outperformed by a solidly mounted antenna in the same area.

Magnetic mounts are capacitance grounded, rather than directly grounded, so it doesn't present an ideal RF ground. Without going big into the science, you want a biigggg, flat RF ground below your transmitting antenna. Excessively small or poor RF grounding alters the performance of the antenna, causing poor transmission characteristics.

>Pic related, most ideal CB antenna. 102" whip, 6" barrel spring, chromed ball mount
