    You heard right,when I asked him about tuning the antenna,checking my swr,his response was the antenna will tune to the truck by itself.Not to mention it took him close to 3hrs to install.

    I don't use or deal with any kind of fiberglass antennas. But with the mirror mount crap and a Browning 78 with a 27" shaft a new predator stud a 20% tilt and belden Rg213 with the right/real amphenol connecters I'm money at a 1:2 on any crapcadia out here. Even with no grounding done. Quality parts and equipment always gets you quality results.
