I have the Cool Tech GateMount (inverted) with a 4' Firestik. I consistantly get 1.2 to 1.4 top and bottom with 1.0 in the middle. My ground wire goes all the way from the antena mount (top bolt with yellow crimp loop in first picture) to the subwoofer acorn nut. Make sure the grounded parts don't touch the antena base. :crazyeyes:

Had to try different mounts and burn one radio up before I hit the sweat spot.

Hello
Read your thread .How could you tell you burned up your CB radio?Because it wouldnt get swr reading?
Thanks
