    So your SWR was good, but the other numbers were not. You said it was because you were sitting still in a parking lot full of trucks, implying that the numbers would be better going down the road or without all those trucks around. What if the numbers didn't get better. What would you do to fix RL? What would you do to fix Phase? What would you do to fix R? What would you do to fix X? etc...

    Clean and adjust as nessary...On a mobile its not gonna be same #'s sitting still vs moveing cause conditions constantly change but you could adjust for that as well to a point..
    Still not found a good description of phase and if you adjust for it..

    My point of the vid was that swr can be good but your ant is still not tuned...

    Its like in the older cars timeing,you can get and keep the car running by just turning the dist cap but to get it rite on you need a timeing gun..

    Go back to page 4 and look at the pic i posted with the #'s....Look at the difference just with cleaning my connections..Stud,ant bracket,braided straps..Didnt touch ant adjustment at all..
