    If you want it next pm me your details. Another member drive up and used it this weekend, tune didnt go well. Swr was in the red no matter what. We would trim the antenna and it would get better then all the sudden the antenna would need to get longer. Had the same problem with my Wilson, except mine wasn't in the red.I now have a firestick but have yet to tune it

    Pm me and i will ship it in a few days

    So the meter worked for you guys? I had a Wilson and it was about 2 swr...I just switched to a firestick and tried tuning it and it is above 3 on every single Channel and doesn't change at all when I adjust the antenna.....

    Same problem with the guy who came down and used it Saturday


    Ideas?

    Super dependant on your ground plane, the front of the truck generally is much easier to tune. The rear has issues establishing a good ground plane. Try an NGP antenna if your gonna have it back there.

    @Pirhett I think @anthony250f still has it technically so hopefully he'll pass it along.

    okay! I am all done I think. Got my Cobra 75wxst and Firestik II all tuned up. Ended up with a 1.6 for channels 1 and 40. Not bad for my first time I think.

    @Pirhett is next I think?
