2018 Freightliner coax issue. Any idea?

Well got my new crapcadia today....Im shocked that the stock is getting roughly 2 miles!!

 

Then you’re good to go!!

 

HELL NO!!!...It will only be like this till i get a way to route a coax outside to run my 7ft skip shooter and stryker..I want atlesst 20

 

A quick chk with the analyzer...swr was 1.4(not bad) 51 ohm inpedence and again not bad but resonance was 17..Cant remember what side that was on though cap or inductance..
Still a #### set up but o well will get me by for the moment till i get it home and do my thang!

 

A lot of trouble. Thin Film Antenna is your “friend”.

 

Speaking of which, does grounding that lead “neutralize” an unused antenna?

Put that Rig Expert to work.

 

Noooo idea.....Ill need play time..When i get home im moveing into my new (new to me)home..Just bought me a mobile on its own land,fully serviced by the city..Its on its own foundation with basement apt..
Mortage is #### near paid when i get someone in there..

 

Use the exsisting bolts and holes from the top of the grab rails as your ground ORRRR use a length of ss and go across the back of the cab and out the sides approx the same as mirror spaceing..Mount antennas to that with cophase coax..

ORRRRRRR get some ss and connect both grab rail with 1 ant up the center using the ss attached to cab as yer ground..
