Since many of us have such similar setups, I'm wondering if we can compare SWR results. I'm using a Uniden 520XL with a 2' tune-able Firestik antenna, which is mounted above the driver's side tail light. I can't get my SWR below 2.4.
Any others with a similar setup, I'm eager to hear your results. Let's not use this thread to troubleshoot each other's setups, I'm just wondering how much the minor differences in our rigs might affect our individual results.
Update: @Jerry Bransford has this same setup and has SWR levels around 1.5, so it must be possible ...
Update: Finally got it under 1.4 on Channels 1 & 40, and under 1.2 on Channel 20.
