I tried using one on a Toyota pickup with a canopy and roof rack. It had
extreme difficulty tuning due to the close proximity of the metal roof rack.
And, I had too long a run of wire from the tuner to the antenna base and
this also caused problems. Remember, the run from the antenna to the tuner
is part of the radiator. It should be as far away as possible from any
metal. Hard to do in some installations. I finally had to go with a
different style of antenna all together. Now if I could just get rid of the
vehicle noise.....
