If you are wanting to get out then a 102" whip is most likely your best bet. However, this may not be ideal for use on the trail so it may depend on your needs/uses.

102" whip- $21.99 : http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2102428

I run a 102" whip and works great. Its ok on trails if you put a tennis ball on it to keep it from banging against the jeep. Great signal strength and like above shows its 20 bucks.

You can get a firestik for around 25. Great for trail riding.
