In a dual antenna system, with everything properly grounded I still get high SWR readings. Though when I grab the right antenna at the base the SWR will fall to around 1.1 or so. (touching the left has not effect either good or bad.) My antenna's have "balancing" ground wires on the antenna, hooking one or both up to a ground only makes things worse.
What can I do to replicate "me" touching the right antenna base to reproduce a good SWR reading? Am I acting as load or ground on the antenna when I touch the base?
I am running a Jeep CJ-7 with dual antenna's on the rear bumper in the ONLY location that can be used. (this is a custom rock crawler and mounting locations are very limited.)
