Trying a new antenna

Seriously, how do you know if you are communicating with a stock radio? Here we go again, what do you do ask everyone if they have had their radio hacked and ruined?

 

Don't sugar coat it WOLFIE. Very good question though.

 

No, it should be RG58 for the jumper. Any truck stop or Farm/Fleet store will have one.

 

Peak n tune for the most part makes lil difference other than what you brag it does..Most times stockers do netter than 95% of these so called techs who do this peak n tune.....Op..Google the oeak n tune myth and make your own judgements..
A peak n tune on a basic conra is just a quick $ grab for a shop,most times they make it worse..

 

Rg 6 is the wrong coax....That stuff is 75 ohm not 50 ohm of which is what you need..

 

Unless your bumpin a few hundred watts a 10k is a waste of $$$....Only difference in a fibreglass ant and a big ext coiled one is power handleing...Mind you i love my 10k's but in my case a 7ft skip shooter works better..

 

You guys tell me something.

What is the SWR on a 75 ohm feedline and antenna with a 50 ohm radio?

 

More to it than i know but i was to understand that there is a ohm difference which affects it some how..Ill just have to go read up again..length has to do with phase if i remember but again i need to do more reading
