OK, I hope I can describe this correctly, without going into all the details.
Magnum 257 HP(hard wired to battery), Sirio Megawatt 4000 with the 145 Mag mount on roof of Toyota Highlander.
SWRs very low like 1.3-1.
Antenna is located center line, but forward (short coax) and this puts it about 4 1/2 feet from the car stereo antenna.
When I'm TX ---- I'm bleeding into the car radio AM & FM.
Now to me, this is not a good sign. But I don't know, and my research here hasn't found anything.
