I am setting up a Cobra 75wx in my pick up to use during hunting season, and need some help. My antenna setup is as follows. I have a 102" ss whip mounted on a Workman single groove mirror mount with a SO-239 stud that I actually screwed to the inside edge of my truck bed about 4 inches from the front of the bed on the left side rail. I connected my CB and antenna with an 18' Astatic Mini 8 cable coax cable. I used an Astatic PDC1 to check swr and decided to add a Workman KA52 barrel spring.
Here's where I need some help. I added the spring because my Ch1 swr was higher than my Ch40 swr and the spring brought my Ch40 swr down below 1.5, but my Ch1 swr only moved down below 2. Should I try and get it down lower than that on Ch1 or should I just leave it alone and be happy with what I have?
I can add a picture if needed.
