Hear out front great, from behind not so good

He said its an 03 fld....Not much plastic bub....I wouldnt use a ngp antenna..Dont work as well as a normal cb ant...
Just as an fyi..My 19 cascadia is a plastic trk and i run a 102" on a 10" riser...Not to bad of a match eh?

 

Not a Wilson Silver Load. They wind them too tight so the wire tends to break near the base. Radio killers...

 

Nothin wrong with that ant...As i mentioned before..Dont need to spend $ on what you will ever use "UNLESS" tou start pumpin out big power..
I will say though when you get a minute,grab some anti sieze and put a dab on all connections and set screws,you will thank me later....
Although swr is low,let a shop get a analyzer and get #'s like what in the pic..Ask them to pay attention to the r# and x#...Notice the rl # top right,higher the better...A more true low swr will be achieved..

 

Much better eh??

 

Still room to maybe squeeze some more outta it yet..

 

That sure is a nice analyzer. That return loss feature alone would be very handy to check different types of coax.

 

There is an option for that to..Some fella on youtube has a really nice vid re all the options of that very analyzer..

Think i mentioned before to clean every connection point between ant point where it mounts all the way down to cab..Ex between mirror brackets cause i seem to vaguely remember plastic washers between mirror arms..If not its likely corrosion to some degree..Door hinges likely have rust n such so clean up bolts and bolt holes (threading) and run a few wide braided straps to electrically connect door side of hinge to cab side hinge and eventually cab to chassie...Keepem as wide and short as possible...
I bet you will likely get a good bit more..Seems to me the aa35(will cover cb band)is about $200...
