[QUOTE="bobracing, post: 974948, member: 16070"] 4hr drive is a bit much but if this helps. 102" steel whip are non-adjustable and will probably work the best but are also dangerous for trail use and shouldn't be used. Biggest thing is make sure the antenna is mounted to metal, needs a ground plain and plastic won't work. Better the ground plain easier to tune and better performance. Next, there should be a set screw, can be top or bottom and sometimes under a cap, that can be loosened. Move the adjustment piece, if at the bottom the whole antenna at the top just small portion, this should be moved 1/8" until at a time. SWRs should be below 1.5 Make sure all doors are closed when checking SWRs and away from any houses or other cars, don't do it in the garage. Tune the antenna for what channel you will normally run.
