I've run 10k's for several years now along with Coilys. I'm not bitching about the 1.3 swr - that suits me just fine. It's the high reflect I seem to get with the 10k on the pickup that worries me while running the DaveMade. For some reason I just can't get the reflect down with any of the top notch coil antennas. The 102" whip mounted on the side rail behind the cab is the only antenna and location I have been able to run with very low reflect. Jesse James, I have everything grounded on the p/u.
I think my next move is to purchase a quad magnet mount and give it a try on the roof. Heck, I even had a pipe mounted directly behind the cab reaching above the roof of the cab. The antenna mount was about 3" above the cab. That left nothing (I thought) to cause reflect, but I still had a reflect problem. Who knows...
