anyone have any thoughts about this antenna? I’ve been using Wilson 5000 with no problems but a friend gave me K40 for free so I’m trying it out. According to meter on radio swr with Wilson was 1:4 and now 1:5. Other than that I don’t know much about them. Any info would help thanks
 

Swr under 2:1 are completely irrelevant. If swr is the measure, I guess the tallest while staying under 2:1 is the best? I thought you stripped the threads in your antenna?
