That's what I was going to do. I had the springs on it to get a little more length but it wad too flimsy with the long antennas. What can I do to get better reception? It doesn't have much reception range. Is it possible that because I'm using the aluminum stud mount instead of a steel one that is effecting the performance?
I'm using 18 ft co-phase coax.

Seems people keep asking the same questions instead of reading the thread, although the thread has gotten hijacked on more than one occasion, and that's cool too.......the answer for the Cascadia is found at post # 24 - 33.........with pictures! Not to say you can't learn more by reading further on in the thread. Bottom line, you have to get the antenna load up and away from the cab as far as possible, thus a 7ft, top loaded fiberglass antenna, Firestick, Skip Shooter, etc, is the easiest, cheapest way to do that.
