    Not hitting anything with that setup on a truck looks like it would be a challenge ???

    Tall mount is useless for antenna system grounded to truck. Only useful for antenna with it's own ground element.

    Bored..Figured out why and i cant believe i didnt notice ..Remember you couldnt understand why i wasnt hittin over passes with the tall mount and 22" shaft...
    The # of 10k coil wraps...My old coil had 9 wraps and the new has 7..Less wraps needs more length..
    MYSTERY........SOLVED..

    Mine according to my multi meter is grounded and i tuned almost perfectly as you saw in a cpl pics..With same mount and a 7 wrapp coil i needed more length....Testin out my 27" deal now..Im at a 30-40 degree lean..Not liken how the ant on the wilson style mount shakes and weaves n wobbled depending on the road...Watched my whip curl back up to 90 deg from the 40 of my antenna..Just not feelin it as being long lasting and safe....Worst thing is now ill hyper focus on it now..

    Your opinion mine works just fine and I get good range...theirs No miracle audio or receive range to be had off a cascadia sub par truck. It's not going to happen.

    Once I saw how short your stinger or whip was and with the tilt on the pole mount......made sense to me.

    Audio and receive range depend on many many factors and then many many more factors.....
