OK, Why would a cheap magnet mount/antenna work...

[otisoil]

#1 --- the mag mount usually cost more, than the typical roof mount.

Question: What are the values you are reading on both setups? This will better help determind what the problem is. If the SWR is super high on the roof mount, I would have to guestimate, improper install.

Its hard to mess up on a magmount install.

Hope this was helpful

but the expensive through the roof mount and antenna give me all that swr?



Do I need to ground the mount or antenna (it's through the sheetmetal roof)? Why would the mag antenna give me such good numbers and the expensive set up works for crap?



Whine.......
