| I say don't go for it. In order to get the swr as low as possible you have to tune the antenna. The francis doesnt have a tunable tip.

| I would go with a Wilson 5000, although you can't mount it to your mirror you can get what they call a bird perch mount. It replaces one bolt in the mirror bracket and then sticks out where you can mount the antenna, this also gives a good ground. It is especially made for Volvo trucks. Google Volvo perch mount to see what it is. |

| I don't think the swr really matters, I have a pair of $30 antennas that are getting out 5 miles, Francis's are non-tuneable, but from the experts at Clay's they say their the best bang for the buck. |
