Keyed a Cobra 200 up in the truck, Instrument panel went ape shit. All lights but 2 came on, Fuel gauge went empty, and while driving, Speedometer kicks it own ass back to 0 very fast. Repeatedly. After the 3rd time the security light came on and stayed on. This truck doesn't have a factory alarm. According to my RS SWR meter I have a 1:1 match at PEP on 27.185. No Ant. indicators kick on. Coax is not coiled, pinched, sharply turned, etc... On my buddies mfj-259 it shows anywhere from 4.8 to 10 db coax loss at different freqs. It also shows high as SWRs where all my other test equipment shows low.
Specs:
'01 Silverado Base LT
3' Firestik II
K40 50-ohm coax (Not sure type, Pulling dash apart in the morning to look.)
I'm thinking I need to bond the body together with straps since the chassis isn't doing it.
