I can't claim "maximum range" but mine works well with a Terra xpondt (a
minor miracle there!) and the antenna (1/4 wavelength vertical) is mounted
thru the skin beneath the front passenger seat. The ground-plane is a piece
of copper window screen hot-glued to the inside of the skin. BNC female
connector for attachment to xpondr coax.
