    Best Setup?

    run the coax length you need from radio to antenna. get ground straps and ground your toolbox to frame on each side of box.

    yep, i think that would be sufficient. the 10k is a light, light, but strong antenna. Jim, if you picked one up, you would be shocked as to how light they are.

    I traded in the monkey and a meter on it. his price was $69 for it. I have never heard of your black antenna, how does it perform? I am thinking of getting my 10k lower and upper shaft powdercoated black.

    it is a 10k world!!

    all single coil. the 6" shaft did fine. I had a 22" shaft and bought a trimag so I needed a shorter shaft on the roof. bought a 6" lower shaft and new stinger and converted the 22". tuned down pretty low but the stinger didnt need to be cut, actually I had to pull it up from the bottom of the...

    not sure, If I remember I will measure it. It is a single cab short bed so she's not too long. I used to have to ride the short bus to school so I wanted to drive a short truck. :lol:

    it is a 10k world!!

    Not sure you can get much better as far as swr. Actually I didnt want the shaft and coil to stick up too far because I dont want it to get knocked off. I think the 9" is perfect for me. you're right, the longer shafts are supposed to tune better I have heard. I have had a 6" single coil, this...

    it is a 10k world!!

    went back again to the 10k. I was using a 102" whip on my quad mag mount. couldnt get it to tune below 1.4. Then, I got a monkeymade mm9, she was pretty good, tuned to 1.3 on the same setup. I didnt really care for the looks all that much and she was heavy and didnt like to flex much at all...
