    Just bought it. Antenna's mount to top of side mirrors. My radio is a Stryker SR-655HP. Previously I owned a Pete 379, running same radio paired to (2) Wilson 2000's. SWR between 1-1.5 Would like some antenna recommendations for my new 386, or go with same Wilsons, 5" shaft? Appreciate your input in advance.

    We 10-10

    Do you have any suggestions regarding antenna options for these newer rides?

    A photo of what kind of mirrors you had would be helpful.

    I pick the truck up next weekend. This is a photo from the dealer. Vague. You get the idea as far as orientation. I still think Wilson 2000's will be fine. Open to suggestions.

    I would stick with the Wilson 2000 as well. Only I would run new, quality coax and mount one Wilson 2000 and save the other one for a spare. (Be thankful you don't have mirrors like the new KW T680)
     
    Bout Z and Straight Stacks Thank this.

    Would you advise the 5" or 10" shaft?
