Yep, thanks for that.
I was referring to the tuning of a particular, specific antenna. When doing so, I believe that achieving resonance is the goal, because that antenna at resonance normally will perform better than that antenna if it is non-resonant, all things else being equal.
And to effect that tuning , an antenna analyzer is a better tool than a simple SWR meter, although the latter can usually get the antenna close enough to resonance for all but the most exacting purposes. At least, it does for me.

My resonant freq is way down in the 26 area and the swr there is 2.3
So guess resonent is not always best -
Your antenna may need to be a bit longer / shorter ? to get it resonant on the 27MHZ band.

I’ve tried several different lengths, with several different whips
Nothing is working
Like I said in the first post, the stock cheap fiberglass antenna is tuned in perfect
I think I’m going to go with a 4 ft fire stick
Hope that works -
I've run various Wilson antennas the last few years. Most of them tuned pretty well. Last summer I bought a 5000 mag mount. It had no resonant point. Not a bad SWR, but no obvious point of resonance.

Here is some more crap to avoid.

Had and old Wilson that’s was tuned right down to a 1.03 with out a problem, been pulling my hair out to even get close to anything below a 1.4, -
