    wow, 3 different coax, and a new mount, I am assuming you moved the stinger in the antenna while checking swr's with all 3 coax's. that is strange for a 379, you can try running a ground wire from 1 of the bolts on the bracket to a frame ground and see if that changes it. also where are you when you are checking it, outside in a parking lot away from buildings and power lines with both doors shut? those things will mess with your swr's also.

    Ok I was willing to let this all go but since You insist on being stupid about it, Well I guess stupid is as stupid does !

    So your position that you are so precise and your ability to communicate your points of contention that everyone should know exactly what you are saying even when you are saying it wrong ??? But then trying to combine contradictory terms would be an Oxymoron, But then you said you had to teach those idiots from DeVry Tech what to do. Well If you or your Billion Dollar company hired Kids fresh out of DeVry thinking you could turn them lose without any indication of what it is you do, Well we both know Tech schools rarely have students with 20 years experience and I can tell you they were hired because experienced Techs come at a much higher price. So guide'em Tech'em and shut up..

    Next we have seen the results of not finding out what the real problem was for Skywalking44 he has now clipped about 8 inches off the whip and guess what ? It won't tune imagine that, I thouht the antenna was most likely out of tune HuH! How did that work out for him ???? not so good maybe you should by him a new whip ?

    Well anyway as far as not addressing all the "points of contention " I systematically dismantled everyone of your "points of contention" I guess you just didn't wish to read it. It's Post #13 You should review it, it's Devry Tech level. I get tired of having to hand feed these R&D Lab people. You might try writing on the black board 100 times "CAT SCANNERS ARE X-RAY MACHINES." The next time you won't make a fool of yourself in front of the whole world...

    You also don't win just because your " FORGETFUL " I tried that in grade school with my homework my teacher made me write on the blackboard 100 times I wont' forget my Homework. It worked when I was 8 and it will still work for you...

    Oh and by the way this was all started by you, and prolonged by you not me. So it might make you feel better to cast the blame but here again you don't win just because you play the Blame card.. You win with FACTS not forgetfulness.

    Now if you wish I will once again Say I'm sorry, But not to you to everyong else. I will say that if I could have worked with Skywalker44 a little closer he would not have ruined a $17 stainless steel tip.. and thats a fact!

    vintech you are what I term completely despicable. Psychotic beyond understanding. Waiting over a day after going on with the topic and then reigniting the hate war. You take twisting and perverting the truth beyond imagination.

    You say "Next we have seen the results of not finding out what the real problem was for Skywalking44 he has now clipped about 8 inches off the whip and guess what ? It won't tune imagine that, I thouht the antenna was most likely out of tune HuH! How did that work out for him ???? not so good maybe you should by him a new whip"

    Yet clearly for all to read I not only gave him the link to Wilson's chart I also stated in text for all to see 49.5 inches is the correct stinger length. So you conveniently act as if this was never stated by me, you now blame me for his failure to read the text and follow directions claiming I must pay for his error. With zero ability to resume polite discourse here you are on and on bashing away never able to go forward. You never answered about the body not affecting the magnetic field around the coil. Possibly you forgot to refill your prozac? No matter I feel for all the drivers who walk into your shop I have seen many like you and despised each and every one. His real problem is poor ground at the feedpoint but he is unwilling to see this just as you are unwilling to see truth. Keep on keeping on judgement is not all that far away for you and the pack of jackals who follow you.

    Well you must have forgot your regular dose of Razadyne..that's for Alzheimer's which you must have. First I didn't reignite this you did. I said I was sorry for it going this far and as far has was concerned it was over.

    Then you did this..
    Yes I meant MRI not CAT which should have been obvious from the reference to strong magnetic fields. So what. Instead of deflecting the issue and refusing to answer the point of contention try staying on topic. The topic was you calling my explanation about the effect his body has on the antenna incorrect. You do not 'win' by pointing out my forgetfulness of medical terminology since I never go in for medical care and never will, the point was about the fields around the antenna. By the way the R&D lab was concerned with reverse engineering the technology of other nations, not building medical equipment. So you cannot make conclusions based upon this. No hospital uses Xray lasers to destroy incoming nuclear missiles nor EMP weapons involving mega-gauss fields. Yet CAT scan is the single point you can find to attack. Waste of time

    So I responded.

    Now, You once again resorted to calling me names as well as others "Sticks and Stones "

    I have systematically dismantled every misrepresented point you have tried to make. You may have made a few valid points along the way but those few things are easily found anywhere on the internet which most likely is what you use to teach yourself how to fool others. So get back on the meds stay away from the caffeine and stop skipping those appointments with you personal psychoanalyst and above all dump the hard liquor and Cocaine and maybe you can turn your life around.
    You may now go back to name calling as I will not waste any more time on you..

    And just for the record I'm not mad at you, I'm not upset, I'm not pissed or anything like it. I thought I would find you a worthy opponent I was wrong, Just the opposite I feel sorry for People like you that have to have to resort to having a dictionary by there side to come up with words they hope will intimidate and scare others into submission. People like you that have to portray themselves as something they clearly are not in order to make there life more interesting to others, to make yourself feel more important. Problem is you must face that same sad person in the mirror everyday. It's sad very sad..

    anyways. today i tested from whip to the pin on the coax where it screws into the cb, checked out good. from the neg battery to the barrel of the coax did not. it showed complete resistance. from barrel of coax to whip also checked out good. I screwed my coax a couple turns in on my mirror mount and my swr dropped to below 2. Not exactly sure what the problem was but it works. Also from neg cb post to mirror mount shows .75 on my meter. Thanks for your help everyone. The only othere thing is the antenna light comes on only when i talk into the mic any suggestions?

    Your SWR is marginal; the light comes on when a certain amount of power comes back from the antenna.

    When you talk, your transmitted power goes up. Since the reflected power is a percentage, the reflected power goes up as well.

    Get your SWR down a bit more, and the light won't come on.

    Sorry It took me a while I had 26 radios to fix the last several days but I got'em done.

    First let me say that I don't know what the big deal is here. I never made a statement that would have given anyone the idea that I disputed the idea of the human body having any affect on magnetic fields ??

    Ok, Well I did address the magnetic's issue in post #13 to the extent that it deserved any real attention.. But since inquiring minds need to know I will attempt to give you a Layman's description of the physics of this subject.


    Although it's true that the human body has little or no effect on a magnetic field it does in this case however have an indirect affect.. How is that Outlaw might ask ? Well when you place your hand on a coil and or element of an antenna that has an RF voltage passing through it you are changing the tuning of that element or coil this sets up a mismatch that causes the RF voltage at the radio to not be easily passed onto the antenna. This changes the amount of RF voltage at the coil depending on how it affects the loading. Depending on what condition the antenna is in when holding your hand on the coil it will depend on weather it causes an increase or decrease in RF voltage. An decrease in RF voltage would cause the magnetic field to be reduced if it causes an increase in RF Voltage then the magnetic field would also increase..
    You may also be interested to know that The human body does generate magnetic fields all be it extremely weak one could argue that it could have an affect on an opposing magnetic field of same magnitude or less.
