Im running an Galaxy 95T2 with a predator 10k on a tri-mag mount on the roof of my F-350.
im measuring with a radio shack swr meter.
after calibrating im getting a real high reading on the swr meter..... well in the red.
but i know this radio has a built in swr circuit and swr meter.... the radio shows 2.5 swr on average.
ive tried moving the whip in 1/2 inch increments as far as it would go in both directions....
The radio is directly wired to the battery both pos and neg.
if any of you are familiar with the bottom on the tri-mag mount... theres a bolt that holds it all together. I put a piece of 10g wire with a ring terminal on that bolt and ran it back to one of the 4 knobs holding the radio on the mount.
I also added another ground on another one of the 4 knobs and ran it to the frame of the truck about 2 feet away under the dash.
having no luck tuning.... i trimmed an inch off the whip and still it wasnt getting any better...
i dont want to trim more and screw myself.... so i thought i would come here and ask what i should do.
