Bazed on your pic....The resistence # is a tad low but no biggie if not dead on at 50 ohms...The resonance is off a good bit so work that bugger up to a zero..Watch that return loss get higher (higher is better,sounds wrong but its not)and swr drop a bit..
Those #'s can change with how clean the connection of mount to truck,coax connection(how well coax is attached to the pl259)coax and pl259 itself,where ant is mounted,angle of ant on mount,ant stud....That analyzer opens up a whole new world..
ENJOY!!

I definitely have some work to do! I'm told I may be getting a new Volvo real soon so I don't
want
to go too crazy with this truck! -
My phone hates posting on this site!JD

Yeah a new volvo...With all the areo stuff on the mirrors you might have a mounting issue....The coax is/was in pieces,you will need some ground straps and your gonna have a duplexer down behind the stereo somewhere....If you can swap out the factory ant for a skip shooter(drivers side) and the passenger side is for stereo..Not sure if its ment for both cb/stereo...
Consider running 1 coax for one antenna for drivers side..Factory antenna stud is junk to by the way.. -
Already running a Skipshooter with dedicated coax on a bird perch. Probably will stay with that when the time comes!JD
-
Careful with the bird perch..Wind hits ant and can over tighten the perch and "can" strip out that bolt hole..
Atleast you have a dedicated coax and a nice ant..AND a great analyzer..jdchet Thanks this. -
just bought one myself, have you figured it out yet?
-
Weather hasn't cooperated for fiddling with the antenna. I'm going to redo the whole setup when things get a bit warmer. It pays to read and watch videos on antenna setup. @craig_sez has some good videos regarding antenna setup and using an analyzer.
