[QUOTE="rslivelyjr, post: 12367338, member: 342869"][B]Me and my friend work for the same company. We both drive 2019 model peterbuilt trucks. I believe 379 or 389 long nose if that helps. He bought a Galaxy 94HP , had it peaked and tuned. On a dummy load it dead keys 20watts and swings 200watts. He also bought a 4.5ft skip shooter and replaced his coax with a 18ft rg8 50hms . Now he has the antenna mounted on the top of the drivers side mirror bar. His swr is nice at 1.1 on 1 and 1.2 on 40. He can only get out at least 3-4 miles that’s it. That’s stYing still and driving . Pushing that many watts , should he be getting out further? We live and drive in Alabama , so the terrain is t ideal, but it should be more than 3-4 miles. We have tried everything we know to do. Different antenna, mounting locations . Any advise will help thanks [/B][/QUOTE]
