Hi Jay
How close is the antenna to the car body? This will cause high SWR. Not
very practical for us mobilers. Can the antenna be mounted on top of the
vehicle? Can you borrow a mag mount just to try?
Also, for anyone using the roof rack, check the rack for grounding. A
lot of racks using a mount that is nonconductive. I found that out on my
Cherokee. I also ran a #12 insulated wire from my four foot mag mount's
frame to the body using a screw that attached the trunk lid to the roof of
the car and don't use the roof rack.
