UPDATE: Spring, Texas
The mysterious impedance/resistance problem continues.
I took an old 5in. magnet mount I had laying around and stuck the 2M antenna on it. It worked SO much better than on my stake pocket mount. I then checked my CB antenna with the 2M removed and nothing changed, so I moved it to the magnet mount and while the SWR looked ok and I was able to hear the usual AM and CB noise, but the little red "ANT" light lit up, so I removed that immediately.
I put the antennas back on their stake pockets for now but decided to leave the Wilson's "matching transformer" disconnected. With it disconnected the SWR looks MUCH better on the radio's built-in meter and I can hear a little better, but it's still very, very quiet.
I didn't have time to move the ground to the S0239, but I still might try that this week.
If you have any information pertaining to this case, please, come forward.
