Good to know, thanks. I just finished getting everything set up, and of course the 4' Firestik is too tall for the garage. I had ordered a Firestik quick disconnect to make the process a little quicker, but after reading this, I don't know if I want to put it on. Right now I'm rocking SWR's of <1.5, <1.2, <1.5 as measured by 2 different meters, and I'm afraid if I touch it I'll never get it back to there!
