    With a 4' firestik, I had some where in the range of like 1.3-1.5. I do remember having to replace the screw in the adjustable tip of the antenna with a longer one. I could not get enough adjustment out of the factory tip. And I also made a ground wire like you were talking about. This is the first mount I had. I ran the ground to the chassis.

    I just took the screw out and took it to Lowes to find a matching thread pattern. Got one that was 1/2" longer.

    Okay so I scraped the paint and got the CB kinda okay. It was channel 1 I got 1.9 then channel 19 2.5 and channel 40 was 3 with the twisting stud all the way down. So I went and added a grounding wire from the antenna to the body and now all my stuff is all over the place. Any ideas?

    Okay so fixed my ground, had it on the wrong part of the mount. Now I'm getting 2.0 on both channel 1 and 40 with the tip a few spins out.
