    I tried covering the bar on the door jam to prevent metal to metal contact and took the door panel off to unplug the door latch switch and it didn’t help

    With all this 655 talk going on, I'm going to have to put the AT6666 in the house and use my 655 for a while

    Well if your have issues more when the door is closed,you have ground issues for sure...Might be coax issue but get out a multi meter and chk every connect point..Mount to door,your ground points,antenna stud,coax..Every thing...
    Go out and grab another antenna,top loaded..10k will work and is a great antenna but not for the cascadia....
    IF you havent yet post some good pics of what you have done reguarding ant,how and where its mounted..Where is coax is routed.........655 will never put out 150 watts unless internals were heavly worked on and replace with some sorta upgradess..

    Wow, that's some really sloppy photo editing.

    It would have a better chance of being funny if it looked better. The fist thought isn't about the credibility of the recipient but that of issuer.

    Would you think the advice from some kid licking a window or eating glue to be funny? what is funny about it? Is it what they are saying or who is giving it?

    What's funny is that you think the laws of physics don't apply to you. By the way welcome to the Forum Mark number 37.
    It would be much simpler if you just stick to the same screen name instead of pretending to be multiple people.

    How do you know it won't transmit?
