I have a Cobra 75 WXST...its a pretty nice radio. As mentioned above everything is in the Handmike. Facilitates a very clean install. As far as antenna mounting options see attached pics:
1st Pic is my truck with a Firestik stakhole mount...mounted in the rear with a 4ft tunable Firestik anennta. There are two types of stakhole mounts. One that uses a "fire ring" coax, and the other uses the standard. The benefit of using the standard is that it connects through the bottom and does not leave anything visible. The fire ring connects up top...so a small portion of the coax will be visible.
2nd-4th Pics are of a truck that mounted the antenna in the cowl. A custom bracket needed to be fabbed up, but it definately looks factory...if you don't like the truck to look like antenna's were just slapped on there.
Now you'all know that the best place for an antenna is the center of your roof, but the stakehole and cowl mounts work just fine...FYI
