Radio Shack still carries them. You really do want to get it down to about
1.5:1 on the SWR Meter...just for "Getting Out" and not screwing up the
radio in the long run. 2.5:1...DAMN...sounds like the 5' Firestik...had to
replace it with a 4' to get it down to 1.2:1.

Yeah... but it beats the 2.5:1 that I was getting originally.... a new
adjustable antennae helped that out. Part of the problem is the temporary
magnetic mount it's on....
On the topic, anyone know where I can get one of those 70's Ball Hitch
mounts? I still don't want to drill holes in the truck...
