Hello Mark,
That would be a good combo to get you started. Antenna wise, I would be tempted to look at a Sirio 4000 for better performance. The only caveat to using the 4000 over the ML145 from a practical aspect, is that it is a good deal longer at two metres in length. So, if you are mounting it to a high-sided vehicle, its length may be a problem and you would need to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof.

Hi John I was looking at the sirio 4000, to use when im static on a hill somewhere ,but i thought for my daily drive around the ML 145 would be more practical. I drive around in a freelander so its a bit high.

Hello Mark,
You would have all the bases covered with both antennas.

Maybe hold off the power mike if you're going to be using it when on the move as they amplify the background noise.
