A Power-Mic wouldn't hurt either.
But the best thing next to a "heater" (Linear Amplifier) is Good Old "Peakin

Thanks Bernd, I am aware of the measurements I should be looking for.
Firestil sent me a nice info sheet kn SWR tuning and optimal numbers, etc.
The antenna I purchased if fully adjustbale simply by popping to top of the
antenna off(rubber cap) and adjusting a solid brass bolt head, very nice and
solid construction of the antenna. Nothing like my generic, cheap dual 48"
antennas I bought from a truck stop. I am using an adjustable Cobra Power
Mic. The treakin part.......well that's illegal, cough cough........soon to
be an officer of the law, cops don't ever do anythin like that :)
