So I decided to install some antennas on my pickup truck. I installed a NMO-150 on the roof of the cab, trimmed it a bit and have a perfect SWR reading nearly 1:1. So then I moved on to install the NMO-27 on an L bracket coming off of the front fender. (CB radio) The NMO-27 coil is brand new and so is the NMO mount with cable. The whip was also brand new so was about 48.5" long. I put the whip in and checked the SWR and it was garbage. 3+. So then I did the required cutting according to the cut chart. I cut the whip down to 47.5" But still garbage SWR! 3+. So one more time cut it down to 47". Still garbage 3+ SWR. I have stopped and given up now. I do not want to cut the whip any further for fear of ruining it. Does anyone have experience with these NMO-27 and do they get a good SWR? I am going nuts here wondering what is wrong. I have never had a NMO-27 before only the higher band models which I have been impressed with.
