    What is your SWR using the factory coax? Mine is not perfect, but close enough not to go digging thru the dash. I'm getting out 4-7 miles with a barefoot 29 and a Realistic mini cb.

    Be careful with that Cascadia factory setup. Make sure you check SWR at least weekly. Some of the trucks in our fleet have had issues with connections coming loose, while others have been great. Just depends on who assembled what that particular day at the factory.
