I have a K40 "K30" antenna that is getting really sorry swr.I've fiddled with the thing moving the antenna up and down,up and down tryin to tune it
but it doesn't really help the SWR much at all.
I know these antenna have to be grounded I think.
Heck I picked the thing up and just moved it around with my hand with it NOT HAVING THE BASE CONNECTED AT ALL to the truck and it got BETTER SWR!! What am I doing wrong here guys?Thanks
