Hello,
I recently purchased a cobra 29lx and have been attempting to install it in my pickup.
I have created and grounded a mount on the drivers side hood, directly across from the factory antenna.
the antenna that was suggested to me when purchasing the radio was a larsen base loaded antenna with a nmo mount. after setting up everything i discovered that my SWR is bordering 3.0 across the board.
I dont see any grounding problems and tested the radio on my Tandem plow truck at work and it reacted fine.
My question is does the coil location have much effect on SWR? does the coil have to be above my roofline?
Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
