Thank you to everyone for taking the time to give such in depth explanations of my question.

I use 3 different radios off the same antenna and coax system. My Yaesu and Anytone 6666 show swr's from flat to 1.2 from channel 1 thru 40. These readings are from the built in radio swr meters and my Daiwa cross needle swr meter. Readings are consistent. The Yaesu has a built in power supply...

Never installed Larson 3rd brakelight antenna mount for 2018 Ford F250. May fit F150 but not sure. Part number VMP-AM-V4-FSD-F250-2018-LED-NOCAM-BLK. $125.00 plus shipping. Thank you, Harry Hwpetersonjr@sbcglobal.net

Before going thru all this trouble are you sure the Stryker S meter was accurate?

Absolutely! The radio worked flawlessly for 3 years then I'm hearing radio checks and 10 codes on the lower side of 38 and 40. I'm glad I checked the frequency, but boy I feel like a twit. WWDX comes to the rescue.

All is well in quad 6 land. Frequencies and channels are back in sync. Thank you all again.

Thank you for the info. I will do this in the morning.

When switching between the channel number and frequency on my Anytone 6666 it seems channels 38 and 40 are 27185. The rest of the channels seems correct. I double checked that I was on 'D' and then listened to 19 and then 38 and 40. Sure enough, although the channel selector said 38 or 40 it was...

Marconi, After all of your years of research, personal experience, and reports from other users, which version do you feel provides the best overall performance? Avanti Astroplane, Targa version or Sirio Tophat? By your video the Tophat certainly seems to win in the noise floor category.

Marconi, The noise floor on the Top One is fantastic compared to the origional Astroplane. What a difference! Thank you for the video.

The antenna is well made and very light weight. 3 pounds or so. Easy to hoist and setup.

Jtrouter, I know I'm probably looking for a needle in a haystack but maybe I will get lucky and find one.

Here's the tech sheet that came with the antenna.

Purchased the Targa in June of 2020. Shipping hurt at $79.82.
