Antenna tuning and hardtop removal
I just tuned my new Firestik 4'. If I remove my hard top do I need to retune it? I'm thinking not since it is top loaded, but it is mounted on the standard spare carrier mount and taking the top off should cut down on reflection. If anyone has experience with issue I'd like to hear it.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think the fiberglass top would cause much of an issue. I've got the swr down to around 1.05 on ch 1 and 40 and less than 1 on 20.
