It sat angled in the stake pocket. Ordered one from geotool we will see. The mount started to corrode also. I know it’s the area. Got some work to do on the rig on Tuesday. Mount will be in and going to tune everything one more time. Love the analyzer. does anyone tune coax for your frequency...

Corroded. Not rusted. Even the Breedlove mount has minor corrosion. Getting a different mount from geotool. His mounts look nice. I wish I would’ve seen it first. Breedlove mount does not have a good fit and finish. I hate to keep dumping $$ into it but want it right.

Yeah I agree. I live in Florida and it’s not this bad. Crazy how that thing rusted. Who sells the riser. Saw a few online but not in business anymore.

Yes hustler antenna. Emailed company I bought it from and they want me to cut off 6 inches of the bottom and send it to them. They are going to replace it. Didn’t get hot. Only have the barefoot Stryker 955hp. Had a huge lightning storms. Might have got struck. Everything else works fine so...

The whip was new. That’s the crazy part. It is only a week old.

This is good stuff. I appreciate the help.

That’s what I thought. Couldn’t get it to 0. I’ll try again.

I’m excited to get the meter. Arriving Tuesday. Can’t wait to tune it with a good analyzer. Learned a lot in a few day. Lots of sweat and testing. A good meter is priceless. Just want everything done right. Have a few $$ into this. Tried to get good top notch products for this set up. I’ll post...

I ended up buying one anyway. RigExpert AA-55 that way I can do anything I want to later on. Also know a lot of people that I can help out in my area. I’m learning every day on how things are done. The guy who helped me had a cheap meter but got it close. Can’t wait to tune everything to my...

Same line knot finished. (y)

It’s a great conversation now I love my Diesel‘s. 05 mega cab on 35’s fully built. 04 built.

Wow we got off topic. :) So found a guy and metered the antenna. Ended up cutting 2 1/8” off the Francis antenna. antenna is tune to the meter. SWR dropped to 1.4 on the radio. And on the meter that he had a drop to 1.1 to 1. The whip antenna I forgot at the hotel so we were unable to test that...

I’m going to get the Analyzer. Removed all the paint from under the mount bare metal. Grounding strap was added earlier,And bonded the frame to the bed in four corners. No change. without an analyzer or decent equipment I’m at a standstill. I don’t want to cut the antenna until I have the...
