I'm sure someone knows about Mobile antennas. Our friends at River Oaks Car
Stereo for sure. Anthony?Here is my dilemma , or something I am doing wrong.
I bought this antenna to mount on my new truck. I have a brand new Comet
analyzer. The antenna is hood lip mounted with a comet Hood mount. When I
analyze the raw antenna thru its one piece of coax, it is perfect 1.5 or less
on 2Meters @ 50ohms. But when I dial up to 440 Mhz, the swr and Ohms is off
the chart.My radio is my old reliable Kenwood TMV71 of which I have 3 identical.
Shouldn't I be able to just change the band knob to 430 and it read good SWR?
Do I have to find the resonant point of the upper band and start trimming the
top length down to 440 good swr?I'm perplexed or doing something dumb.
