    without being able to see the truck firsthand it seems like the easiest thing to do for someone who's incapable of getting an antenna to work properly.. it's not something I would normally do but for a Troublesome Truck that has multiple issues it's a quick and easy fix even if it's only a Band-Aid

    I still don't get what he has to do with the problems with dipoles. AM I missing something that has to do with him controlling RF?

    In general it's not something you want to do on a tractor trailer but for people who are incapable of building an antenna system for their truck it's a quick idiot proof solution for people who don't know what they're doing

    That's the whole point of the dipole. It's for people who have given up using conventional methods and just want a quick 5-minute solution to the problem

    well never-ready and his deal looked like just a upside down antenna attached to the mirror mount bracket attached to nothing... now your talking about the rear fairing.... good luck accomplishing anything on a trk. that does have many issues ya definitely said a mouthful when you said that

    He already said he didn't want to do the bracket on the back of the cab so that's a moot point. Doing the same thing that never ready did takes 5 minutes to do and it's guaranteed to work

    OK I looked through all my material on dipoles and I didn't see a reference of craig in it and what he has to do with this issue of grounding and spacing.
